I didn't find C all that hard to grok. It helped matters that I had spent the previous 10 years programming in assembly languages.

- GianFabien 3y agoC was originally designed to write Unix operating system and its utilities. Until then such programs were written in assembler. I always think of C as a portable high level assembly language. Recent use of C/C++ for Arduino reinforces that positioning although I think that many Arduino abstractions are rather bloated. But of course, there's no reason why I can't re-write performance/space critical code in assembler.
