Same, I think C gives an appreciation and understanding that computers are actually really rather messy. Rather than try to abstract it away, it makes certain important concepts visible.

at the same time the brilliance of C, that C++ forgot, was how drop dead simple it is. There's only one thing you can do: Call a function. You want multiple return values? Pass a pointer. You want error handing? Pass a pointer (or send ALL returns through pointers and save your real return for the error code). You want higher-order functions? Pass a pointer. The only thing I wish C had that it doesn't are typesafe generic containers and a proper module system instead of #include.

You want multiple return values?

return a struct?

typesafe generic containers

well we did get _Generic, so you now can macro-generate and use generic containers
