I studied C++ instead. C is genuinely for LARPing and roleplay only, or "hey our company has a 20 year old codebase so we need someone who can understand it" and every part of that is boring because it was written for what computers could do in 1998 lol.
I wrote a working but useless application in C++ and felt right away that even THAT was a relic of the past, as I struggled to find something like Qt that wasn't junk, and it couldn't do basic shit out of the box. I barely remember it now. Once I started a project with Go I made real software instead of playing around asking "what do I make?" and being told "oh just make X thing that already exists but lightweight" boooringgggggggg, useless, innovation crippled, uninspiring. And that's the real C (++) not the LARPer actual C.
