love this sentiment. i tried a lot of languages after C, and am also back to C. it does force me to pencil out all kinds of stuff rather than relying on third party code or compiler error help, but i find that delightful. good upfront coding on a piece of paper, slowly (compared to other langs) implementing it, and diligently testing because you know its very needed in C. it forces you to do things right, and if you do you get an ultimate reward. blazin fast , well behaved code. yes, my life is still full of segfaults as many segfaults as ignorance and impatience. so its delightful because it helps me overcome those 2 things, slowly and steadily =)
