The C Language
Tags: programming languages
C is an old programming language that remains useful today for writing programs that:
- use memory efficiently
- are extremely portable (pretty much every platform has a C compiler)
- have very little overhead, relative to most modern high-level programming languages
C code can also be a bit of a nightmare to write if you've spent most of your life using JavaScript, but the granular control it gives you over memory can also be quite liberating if used effectively.
