When i first saw C i was so disgusted by all the retarded names and ugly ass syntax that i never looked back. Good luck tho

If I might make a suggestion. I hated C too. Not necessarily because of the language, but because damn near everything had to be done by ourselves since there is a huuuuge lack of modern features (logical due to the languages age) and even tho one can find libs and whatnot it would be nice to have standard features.
Now, the recommendation, you listed Ruby as a language. There is Crystal which is a compiled lang that is based on ruby syntax, might be worth checking out. Or Go. I prefer go. -
C is actually quite easy:
Take C++
Remove all syntax sugar
You made yourself a C -
Wozza638687yOne of my assignments was to create an OS in C, we didn't even have the standard libraries so had to do literally everything from scratch. Was painful but fun. Had to write things like cos and sin myself.

I never said C is bad, there are definitely some use cases, but it's just way to complex for to simple things.

@Krokoklemme you are right. I do not like candy :P but the reason why I said it is because syntax sugar is meant to make something easy to express/read/etc which I do not find at all in cpp, if anything it has a lot of line noise, much like perl. Notice that I am not saying that these are bad languages (i love em both)
