C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Oh, come on... all C++ devs know C well enough. Nobody assumes C is bad because it is more insane than C++.
C is just awfully repetitive as you have to spell out all the cleanup code all time -- and you are likely to have a security issue when you forget it just once.
