In the very halcyon days of Unix, lets just say early-80's, I met so many new-to-C guys coming away from APL screaming, with their hair on fire, that I, as an innocent young mangenue, was sure it would be one of those languages that would die a horrid yet rapid death and I could therefore completely ignore it.

Yet, here we are. I'm still amazed to see people using it, and even more amazed to see someone break it out for some toy play.

Still, not gonna learn it. I like my hair.
