Well C was my second language. I learned it on an amiga 500. But I quickly transitioned to a 386 (yes i know, a downgrade) but my dad put turbo c++ on it and I never wrote much ansi c after that. A bit for odd embedded targets, but mostly c++ my whole career. So I can write old fashioned c, and I don't start new projects in c, but writing c abi shims for c++ libraries or reading modern c is something I do with some frequency. Learning it would be fun maybe as I've never really used c99 or newer for anything.


My comment is for the OP, not for you. Go nuts learning C tooling and have fun.
