legitimately, if you're interested try writing a shell, your own libc, an elf loader even. It's fun! C is good and cool!

Doing this is what made programming fun again for me. I made a freestanding Lisp interpreter instead of a shell. No C library, just Linux system calls. I've written quite a bit of ELF code too, no linker yet though.
