I don't know how anyone could write complex programs with C (though they apparently used to and still many do)

    I had to use C to write POS software.. I just think you don't really know about what you are talking.
    And i suggest you to study a little bit more.

    @rookiemaverick yeah, but at the core, for the os , right?
    what I meant was that I was so used to using objects and classes that I would go crazy without them 😓

    @Venom I have studied c enough.
    your perception of my message is faulty.
    I never said that c was useless...

    @tysa Note that OO is a concept rather than a language feature. It sure is a burden to write OO in C compared to C++, but it's feasible and people do it.

    @tysa also keep in mind that OOP comes with a lot of downfalls as well. I love OOP, but mutable state is the devil. look into functional programming and watch some YouTube videos on why that paradigm is taking over nowadays

    It's actually very satisfying. Very little thought is needed in high level languages. There's a unique feeling of accomplishment that comes from writing C code.

    It does require a lot of discipline to not get into a he'll of an unmaintainable code. But as other mentioned, using C doesn't prevent you to apply OO or functional concepts to help getting a well organized code base

    PHP is written in C, as PHP is a very popular language in web development, I would think it's possible

    Nah people only ever use C to write trivial software, like your OS, your compiler, your debugger, etc...

    @heistaa nailed it. Discipline, that's how. And it takes a long time.
