Hi! this is my first post here, i'm a guy that accidentally began to enjoy programming.

while reading this post keep in mind that i NEVER learned any low level language, and until recently, I didn't even know the difference between high-level and low-level languages.

what happend to me? short story long, philosophy and linux.

and that's relevant because i think there's a tendence to ignorance completely related to mac and windows, and how faang disgusting companies rule a huge part of our life... but that is a topic for other post :$

My first lang was dev-pascal xD. in my university teachers don't explain a shit about why pascal, what is good or bad code and why is good or bad.

because they don't really know
because they don't want to teach how to code like a god.
because they don't want to learn how to code like a god.

and thanks for universe i hate that.

But not always was like that....

Now I am completely ignorant, but... I want to know and learn, and that is pure gold, that's all I know.

For me code is an complete and beautifull art.

yes, many 'seniors' know about how to write code for a specific problem, or from other point of view, how to NOT write code for a specific problem because... (senior explanations bla bla)

And that is perfecly fine. so where is the problem?

well...

The most interesting things in the world is innovation.
because is new, contreversial, and may can do things better or not...

but whatever be, better or worst , humans learn from good and bad things.

That is the main cause of AI stagnation.

Science and any profession die when it began to appears x recipie for get whatever y result.

I'm a complete enemy for standars and conventions, i don't give a shit about how standards manage projects and code, because i want to crash with the problems and face them. And that is a stupid way of think yup, and i recongnize and assume this stupid way or think because i want to do things different :) ; Reinvent the wheel until do a Rhombicosidodecahedron if is neccesary :p.

So what is the point and wtf have this realtion with learning C.

Well...

i was strugling about what language learn if i want to make a language :D

And idk really. there's a lot of opinions...

learn RUST, IS SAFETY BRO!!!

LEARN ZIG MY HOMMIE IS POWERFULL LIKE SUN. THE Z IS CUZ LAST LANG IN THE PLANET EARTH YA KNOW

LEARN C++ IS THE LANG FOR MAKE GAMES LOOK UNREAL LOOOK IT NOW!!!

LEARN C# IS MORE EASY THAN C++

LEARN JAVASCRIPT DON'T WORRY ABOUT OLD, MELTED AND ROUGH LANGUAGES...

Okay!!! nobody said those things to me of course,
maybe sure in another dimension, but not here i hope.

Anyway.

I'm making this post because I want to feel ashamed when I look back and realize that embarking on this odyssey was a very sad decision.

Or I want to be proud of myself because, for some reason, I chose the right path.

i feel like...

C    -> modern mother of inventions, history live.
Rust -> Wise and solid magician, expert in forging mental models
zig  -> pro guy pentakiller, radical electric, explosive but powerful

And i will learn these in that exactly order.
because i don't know what nuts is heap and stack , and of course less i know about borrow checker and that, you know (?

and zig is unestable and docs are outdated , so in the meantime i hope zig reach version 1.0.0 (orgasm)

I don't know why, but that is what my heart suggest my brain to write, so...

i hope you hate or fall in love with this post. (not middle points accepted)

i will write in a couple of weeks or maybe years... if i don't die.
And prepare your hands, because my goal is build a nasty programming language. yes with hand punches not with fingers...
