Do you have a specific goal? I started programming because I want to fix gtk file picker and I am still learning

I would say start with C to learn the basics and how memory allocation and arrays work
It's a very basic language with strict rules
Also it's easier to learn other languages because C is like Latin compared to Spanish or Italian to give you a metaphor

Not OP but do you have any suggestion of books on best C practices? Like I know C but I want to polish my skills before jumping into real dev

I can't recommend you any special book i have read because i learned C in University but i'm sure there are plenty of good books around because C is quite old

There is a version published by the guys who developed C
This book was recommended by my professor but his powerpoint slides always were enough for me
Maybe you will give it a try

Pic related, or you know, look at C++ best practices & standard library and see what you can do with preprocessor magic and minimal overhead.

Also perusing the Linux Kernel.

OP: Stick to Python/Numpy if you're an engineer and doing basic number crunching.

Is ruby still a thing for "backend"?

otherwise man up and get to C++

I actually like C++. If the project I intend to contribute didn't use C and Vala I would definately use C++.

I like being a dick

>It's a very basic language with strict rules
you got it ass backwards
it's got few rules, you're not as restricted as with Pascal or something

it's not that basic either
