    What are you smoking? C was the first language I learned – because that’s what a course was available for – and I hate it to this day. It’s a messy and incoherent language full of footguns and unnecessary complexity. I’m glad that there are so many efforts to replace it, but somehow there are still many people who think that features like header files, undefined integer sizes or text-based metaprogramming are the best thing since sliced bread.
