C, old friend

I’ve abandoned all the things I once used and liked. My editor, operating system, browser, database, API’s, & development tools changed —often multiple times— during the past 15 years.

I’ve left everything, except C. C was the first programming language I learned and wrote real programs in. I though I would move to another, better language later. I didn’t realize at the time how beautiful C was.

After 15 years, C is still fun, it still challenges me, it still makes me happy. The older I get, the more I love it.

Your thoughts matter to me.

If my writing sparked any ideas, questions, or insights, I would love to hear from you. Email me at henry@precheur.org I read and respond to each email, and I’m looking forward to our conversation.
