I did the course a few weeks ago. It was one of the best ones I ever did, and I miss it now that it is finished. :) It was a great learning opportunity, but sadly, I don't have a PC, so I did it all on my Android phone using Termux and Acode.

I just love the idea of C! I perhaps have a long way to learn more of it, but the very realization that beautiful languages like Python and Java were written in C intrigues me. C is very powerful.

P. S. It is known that the creator of Python, Guido van Rossum, didn't add pointers in Python because he found them quite difficult to handle and believed that they made coding difficult for the programmer.

That's crazy that you managed to do it all on a phone - props!
I definitely agree about the wonder that Python is written in C, looking further into C has made me appreciate Python a lot more.
