C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Lol the funny thing is that this isn't even close to my longest project :P I have one with a first commit close to 10 years ago (and I of course started it a while before the first commit). It's my favorite just for how fun the result is. IMO the best projects tend to be ones you actually like to use when you're done.
That said I also wouldn't put too much stock in that 1 year, I think I worked on it a lot for about a month and then moved onto other things after having trouble with it. I came back about a year later and managed to more or less finish it. It's definitely a long time to devote to a project, but if you stayed focused on it you could do it in a couple months I think.
