The C Programming Language

Sell me on the C programming language. I want to go for it, but my goal is indie game dev, and everyone tells me it is a terrible choice for that.

why can't i dereference a void pointer. My data has different stuff in it and i don't want to write a struct to explain the compiler.

people claim that but they have no proof
besides there are still regular committee meetings

The standard is literally getting update in 2021 or 2022.

Depends on how deep you want to go. C is great for learning how things work on a lower level. You'll be forced to think about every tiny thing, and it will break many illusions you may have about how computing actually works. Being forced to think about all your memory, as well as designing all your systems from the ground up will most likely put you in a mindset to make your program more efficient.

The disadvantage is that you will have to learn a lot, and work a lot to lay the foundation for your engine.(If you consider those things to be disadvantages)

A major advantage would be that you will understand at a much deeper level how these things work, and your game won't feel like a generic copy of other Unity or Unreal Engine games. The end user will be able to tell, even if its only an abstract feeling that they're experiencing an engine that hasn't previously been seen before.(And people can tell) There's a reason why old games feel unique and special, because it used to be the norm that you would make an engine from scratch.

Well, given that you're a brainlet I suggest C++ because that's what all the other faggots in here suggest, not because they are game developers but they read it on some plebbit site. I mean you'll spend the next 5+ years of your life (what I am saying you have no life) learning shit that you'll never fucking learn or use. Think of a game idea, not have the intelligence or coding skills to implement said game, get bored and go back to shitposting loli and tranny porn in /b/.
So, why bother faggot, go back to /b/ where retards like you belong.

> I mean you'll spend the next 5+ years of your life learning shit that you'll never fucking use
I know this is bait, but it's not even very good bait. If you're building an engine, and you learn something that you then implement, that thing no longer resides in the category of "shit that you'll never fucking use."

Because. You. Actually. Used. It.

just case it as the datatype you want to dereference...?

Nobody listen to this fool.

Learn C if you want to.
