C, to me, requires a lot of discipline about good coding style and conventions. I personally like that a lot, even though, of course, it sometimes causes one to shoot oneself in the foot. But, and I can't point to exactly why, I don't think I want to change anything.

Maybe Rust or something new will come along sometime soon to fix all the issues that exist with C.

Oh, and for those who haven't seen it, there was a cool guide to writing neat, modern C on here a few months ago. https://matt.sh/howto-c

Worth a read in my opinion.
