    there’s something really fun about having almost zero guard rails and having the ability to just do anything.

    imo this makes it such a useful tool for learning computer programming

      Agreed! C is the language I recommend to people if they want to learn how things work at a low level since you’re basically one step above raw assembly. It was one of the first languages I learned and helped a lot with understanding things later on when working with other languages.
