Mainly I love the blazing execution speed of C.

I want to learn it well enough to understand or modify various open 
source code.

I like that it's 'close to the metal'.

Makes me a better programmer, too.

Currently I do it only as a hobby, but it would be nice to put on a 
resume and be able to use C on the job if needed.


Why do you use C?

I tried qsort at one point and didn't like it.
I'd rather:

char groups2[g];
for (i = 0; i < g-1 ; i++)
{
	for (j = i + 1; j < g; j++)
	{
		if (strcmp(groups[i], groups[j]) > 0)
		{
			strcpy(groups2, groups[i]);
			strcpy(groups[i], groups[j]);
			strcpy(groups[j], groups2);
		}
	}
}
