I never learnt C. I learnt Java. And I was glad I started with Java as my first real programming language (well my first one was Visual Basic actually). I appreciated the OOP, and at some point got overwhelmed with jargon. I decided to switch back to C, a language that has lasted decades and yet is easy to begin with, get’s obscure as you start getting deeper.
I thought it would be a nice idea to do a very simple comparison of these 2 powerful languages. It becomes easier to see how things fit together in either world, yet once you understand their similarity, it’s the same language in it’s roots.
I love this blog! This is the most interesting thing Ive read today.
