Recently, I am learning the Computer Systems A Programmer’s perspective, which requires the C as a prerequirement. So I had to study the C language.

Although C is thought as old and broken ¹, I found it is elegant and clean (except for pointers, of course). C for Computer Science is like Latin for Natural Science (include Math). Even you won’t use it, you should know it.
