Modern C [pdf]
I&#x27;m really surprised by the &quot;hate&quot; for C that is appearing in these comments. What ever happened to actually enjoying the danger of getting low level? Is assembly also useless because it isn&#x27;t readable?<p>There is a lot of great code written in C, and a lot of crappy code written in C. Because C doesn&#x27;t protect you from yourself, it exacerbates any design flaws your code may have, and makes logical errors ever more insidious. So in this sense, the quality of the C you write is really a reflection of you as a C programmer, not the shortcomings of the language. Maybe you&#x27;ve been badly burned by C in the past, but keep an open mind and understand that C can be beautiful.
