It's hard to get more boring than C.

C... boring? I don't think so. Not with 200+ undefined or implementation defined behaviors. Not when even something as simple as "a = b + c" can evoke nasal demons.

C is so loosely defined that it keeps you on your toes constantly. Every single line is like walking down a dark corridor with poisonous snakes... and your torch just guttered out.

There's nothing boring about C. It's pure thrill and danger. If you're not experiencing that, you're probably writing terribly non-portable, brittle code, ready to unexpectedly invoke undefined or implementation defined behavior.
