Its not about disliking C. If I have to build an MVP quickly, I need a higher level language to do some of the heavy lifting for me. Memory management or implementing thread safety is not something I wish to do everyday. Doing so would not pay my bills.

Absolutely fair.

If I needed to ship a product quickly and prove something to investors or customers, I would choose a higher-level language too.

For me, C programming is not about speed, it's about deep understanding, intention, and creating things that I truly understand and can control.

But I get it - at the end of the day, we all have bills to pay. Thanks for sharing your insight.
