I guess tools that fit my way of thinking are more enjoyable to use, because I feel there is less in the way of realising ideas. You mention C, have you tried any higher level tools? The other side of the coin is that you get enjoyment from seeing something valuable to you realised. For me this has been creating a card game I invented with a friend, and combining computing to solve problems in another hobby I have — or something I value (deejaying tools, computing tools, knowledge sharing tools, privacy tools). Perhaps this is the same for you. Perhaps it’s just not fun, don’t feel the pressure that you must enjoy it. Everyone is different!
