Any better books you recommend?

  Programming Rust by O'Reilly, haha.

    I get why this is downvoted but it is solid advice: in C you absolutely have to track ownership and lifetimes of pointers and pointees, but the compiler is free to not help you in any way. Learning rust will make you a better programmer. Thus, the recommendation is very good.

      Learning any language makes you a better programmer

        Using* any language and writing non-trivial programs.

      It is not solid advice to suggest a book that's not even about the language that's being asked about. There's a number of reasons why it's not solid advice, but here's a huge one: you have no context for why the person is asking. Maybe they already know Rust, and want to learn C. It comes off extremely poorly. I downvoted your parent myself, even.

        It's OK Steve, Jesus was also misunderstood :-).
        • steveklabnik 6y ago
          I would not draw that comparison. You knew it was bad behavior, hence the "haha." You're understood just fine, it's just not going to have the effect you want.

            I would rather have Hepatitis C than C.
