How many of you used to do C/C++ and doesn't anymore? Any tips on re-visiting C?
I used to code C/C++ and now I don't. I am trying to go back to C and I can't. Because there is too much memory management and constant worrying about what is in memory, whether it is aligned properly and so on. Datatypes are different everywhere and worrying about them feels so bad.

The build toolchain is so complicated. Autotools has infinite number of macros to memorize. IDEs hard code paths to libraries and doesn't compile elsewhere.

Any tips for me and people like me on re-visiting C and feeling comfortable there?
