My experience: C has a spartan standard library compared to other languages like Python. Even something like getting a scheme going for decent memory management can take a lot of work. I found it to be a good way to get my head round using pointers, now I don't find them so scary.
Just curious, is there a particular language you were thinking of learning?
- csdrane 12y agoYes I'm learning Clojure. I've done the Clojure Koans and have been working through problems on 4Clojure.org. I'm getting to the point where I want to start applying what I've learned.
- NAFV_P 12y agoCheers for the reply. I went to Github to look for <a programming language> koans, and they exist for a lot of languages - oddly I couldn't find one for C. Anyway, recently I decided I should try to be more multilingual, Javascript with Eloquent Javascript.
