C was my first programming language (I’m old). After C, I spent time with C++, Java, and finally, Python. Then there was a project that I did in Python that had performance issues, and the fix was to rewrite it in C.

I would also want an investigation into who, besides Trump, got sold out to Putin and the Israelis. And also more attention to the obvious fact that Putin has the goods on Trump and is using that to control him.
