Most older C developers I've spoken to find Go and Python as a fresh breath of air and refuse to head back.

The younger generations totally sideline C completely.

Myself a non-coder but experienced SysAdmin who can write cool Perl, TCL scripts, C almost feels almost natural when reading it. I just haven't had the time available to dive in.

It could be that I was exposed to it at 14 (2003) but chose perl because MSN/Y!M/AOL messenger bots were the discord bots of today. Still, eager to dive in. Some reason Java too.
