I'm not a professional programmer, I just do mods mostly; C is too common for me to hate it. It was the first language I really used, too. I mean, I learned BASIC first but I didn't use it for anything outside of learning.

Me too. It's the only language that felt natural. Learning it was a breeze and I haven't needed anything it dosen't provide.
