> It really boils to "if it doesn't look like C, I'm not learning it"

I think it's funny that most people who complain about this are likely coming from Java, JS, or Python, not C. And they probably would suffer a lot in C...

I've made the jump to Clojure, and to be honest, it's painful going back to other languages, but not just because of the syntax, but rather the lack of expressive power, and the excess of boilerplate. I had to do some Python work last year, and it felt like coding with a straightjacket on.
