Next to it being a fun language, what I love most about C is the lack of package managers, or rather, letting the operating system mange the library packages.

Next to it being a fun language, what I love most about C is the lack of package managers, or rather, letting the operating system mange the library packages. It's refreshing to know that the code I write can be build by anyone, it runs on Linux, Windows, Macs, heck, my stuff has been ported to Aros, FreeBSD, Playstation Portable, Pandora, GP2X, GCW-Zero, Haiku, Amiga OS4, Canoo, Dingux, Android and some Motorola phones, probably exactly because it uses standard library and only one or two third-party libs which are widely available on any platform.
