Off topic:

C is very easy to learn, too bad it's very hard to get anything useful
done with it unless you have lots of time to waste ;-).

Also, if you have problems with the concept of modules et. al, you'd
be better off reading up about them than trying to wrap your head
around C/native programming complexity (makefiles/automake, shared
libraries, packaging, ...). Python, OTOH, can be learned over a
weekend.

I get paid to write C code currently, but no way in hell would I do it
on my free time.
