The interface is not good either. People love to joke about how much of a flashbang Discord's light theme is---because it's true, and it's not an exageration. It took them 5 years to make the light theme not as jarring. The tab navigation isn't that great either, since the client was not even designed for keyboard navigation (although it is getting better). The interface is not good either.

I wouldn't really care about any of these problems /if/ Discord let you use another client. However, using an alternative client (even changing the CSS with BetterDiscord) is considered self-botting, which is against the Terms of Service.

Even though Discord does not actively enforce it, there is some Hyde Park middle-class boot-licker that wouldn't mind to report you just for using a different client.

You are probably assuming that I am antisocial, but there is rather a good reason that I avoid social media and instead host my own website to establish an online presence.

My reasons that I will list here isn't because C is fast. We all know that C is fast. However, not all of us are going to build an entire operating system, web browser, text editor, etc. And it's also not because there is a lot of demand for C either.

I am going to appear arrogant and unapologetic, but I assume anyone that doesn't know basic C knows less of what they are doing when they program in another language. That, however, does not actually bar you from writing anything good if you have no knowledge of C; plenty of popular software have been written by people who do not know any C. I sort of automatically assume anyone that doesn't know the basics of C knows less of what they are doing than if they did.

Higher level languages hide this from you. They won't show you how memory is laid out in a program, and they won't show you why an array is a reference type.

In C, you have to understand how memory is laid out, and you have to understand how an array is just a contiguous block of memory. This understanding will help you when you need to use a lower level language, or when you need to understand how a higher level language works.

It would be easier to teach a student C as it gives them the practical concepts of programming rather than logical concepts and paradigms. Just like in math, it is far easier to understand it if you are able to understand proofs rather than simply memorizing equations.

Unlike other languages, C is a rather simple language compared to the abstracted high-level languages they commonly teach in high school (and sometimes college) computer science courses.
