When a person whos never done any kind of computer work wants to learn programming and chooses c as his first language, and k&r as his study material.

It's a bad language. Prolog is better.

The book is kinda messy. The language is great!

All C needs to be useful for desktop applications is better data types.
If it was created today, maybe C with a subset of the c++ STL.
If it was meant to be a low level language then stdlib should be a part of the language so bit length was in the variable name.
Every library includes their own definitions of this and it is so inconsistent.

>this compiles in gcc

#define ayy(x) x(lmao(x))
#define lmao(x) x(ayy(x))
#define y lmao

int main()
{
    ayy(y);
}
