i have been a c++ programmer for many many years and i do not recommend it. when i have a choice, my daily drivers are:

c#
ruby
python

python is easy. c# is best. i use ruby when i don't need to write an app that has a gui, like making command line tools for converting excel spreadsheets into nintendo ds friendly binary files.

there has been a disturbance in the spergosphere lately because micro$$hatf refuse to support c99 in visual studio

if you really want c99 why don't you just grow a beard and get a linux

python is a good language to learn if your goal is to learn python (though i wouldnt recommend it)

if you want a language that you can actually make stuff in, java is the way to go. but be warned. theres probably already a library that does 90% of what you want to do and adding it to your maven project takes like 5 seconds. this means you wouldnt get to experience the pain of other-languages

It is a little frustrating that VS doesn't support C99 but they say their customers aren't demanding it and in all honesty who can argue with that logic? As Raymond Chen says all features start out with -100 points and why waste time implementing something your customers don't want?

Anyone seriously doing a lot of C coding these says is probably not using VS anyway.

c99 actually has a bunch of cool features, my fav is designated initializers

code:

struct Point {
    int x;
    int y;
};

int main() {
    Point p = {.x=7, .y=4};
}

Fun fact COM is implemented in and was designed to be usable from C and if you never write a COM server at least once in pure C you're officially a dumb gay baby.

Also on the book topic, "The Practice of Programming" by Kernighan and Pike is a great one.

i lost any respect for c99 when i saw that complex numbers were a required header, look at all the stuff that has been added to the jdk over the years, they've never seen fit to include a complex number class

i don't have proof but pretty sure that was done at the direct request of rms
