C is simple. Like really simple. Hardly anything exists in C lol. You have Integers, floats, chars, arrays, functions, pointers and structs. That’s it.
Therefore reading C isn’t too difficult.
Now doing anything in C? Lol have fun with that, nothing exists in C.
C++, you’re absolutely right lol the standard lib in c++ is so god damn big I don’t even know where to begin when using it. And there’s like a billion different ways to approach a problem there.
I like C. I don’t like working on C just because if you want a hashmap you must first build the universe lol. But c is fun.
I’ve been finding that same fun feeling in Rust though I haven’t used it long enough to know whether that’s just the “ohh new shiny” fun or “I really like this” fun.
The pointer syntax being slightly different than the pointer declaration syntax always confuses me to no end. I conceptually under pointers perfectly but their syntax is wack.

Reading anything to do with pointers in C is confusing to me. Sorry to disappoint you.
A pointer is nothing but an integer that “points to” a memory location.
They can feel intimidating because it’s really easy to footgun with them, but they are not as complicated as they appear :)
