> C is horrible for exploratory programming

Completely disagree. The lack of screwing around selecting abstractions forces you to make something productive right away and not stress about refactor.

Isn't "forced to make sth productive right away" the opposite of "exploratory programming"?

No, I think exploratory programming is exactly that. Solutions to a problem is the very thing to be explored.

Who is stressing you to refactor when doing exploratory programming? Yourself? OOP languages? Society?
