What do you like about K&R so much? I was excited to dive into it during the C systems programming class I took in school, and it was fine, but I didn’t understand the hype. And I loved learning C / usually care about things like this.
In my case, I read K&R over a Thanksgiving weekend, and I understood all of it[1], even without a compiler to try things out on.
[1] Except for passing command-line arguments into a program (argc and argv). Couldn't understand that one without experimental results.
