Agreed! I would have used ML faminly languages. Of course, that implies learning ML before reading the book whereas C is definitely known by more developers as it’s been in all of our courses

Sure, then it would be the same thing just with ML (which I pers. would prefer to C, but yeah). Pseudocode to explain the idea would be ideal, then you can work through the book in a familiar language.

C is fine, it's just not ideal for me to learn C which I have no use for and learn a new skill at the same time.

ML-like pseudocode would be much different from C-like or python-like pseudocode (e.g. heavy use of ADTs)
