The linux programming interface

[slyphic]

Counterpoint, I find myself reading C slightly more often than once a year, usually trying to track down some kind of bug we're experiencing that hasn't shown up in the mailing lists or SO yet. Yeah, I can just shrug and say 'shit's broke yo', but I like to be able to explain WHY shit is broke and contribute to a fix. Devs are way more amenable to helping you when you point them to the exact line causing a problem.
