I am fairly new to programming (beside dabbling in it when I was a teenager). So far I enjoy C the most. I find it way easier to reason about than a more complex language like say Java (both in regards to language-features as well as the respective libraries). Also it seems to me every time C lacks something I'd rather like to have/use, having to figure out how to do it brings me closer to understanding advanced features in more complex languages. All this obviously assuming I correctly understand the problem I try to solve. Edit: This does not mean that I dislike other languages as a whole. I am getting into Lua for scripting and am obviously using Java at university.
