Thank you for your comment. Yes, I agree that the syntax isn't "bad" (even I didn't use the word "bad"). In a university I enjoyed writing code on C, before I saw PHP and Python. But some people agree that it's challenging to write code and you always care about memory.

You are saying both here and in your post that you allways have to think about memory in c, c++, rust and objective-c, but that is not true for c++ no more. With so many abstractions it has gotten hard to actually think about memory in that language. In rust its a similar story, but you have to worry about refrences instead of "memory".
