@joonazan I don’t think that is what he means by hidden. Hidden as in most people don’t realize its gold not that nobody knows about it.
I like trains, cycling, programming (mostly in c), linux, foss and urbanism.

What language isn’t? C is of course not perfect and there are many things I wish would have changed in the language but its quite a productive language and there is a reason it became the lingua franca. Of course a lot of that has to with it’s relationship with Unix.
@luciole @modev I think that’s terrible advice. A lot of games are written in C/C++ and building something yourself is a good way to learn. Game Engines don’t always help in fact I would say a framework + a couple helpful libraries is going to make you much faster at programming a game than a game engine ever will.
