C is used as a basis for the Sway, the window manager I am using. I don't care for the syntax of C++, Zig is a bit TOO picky for me at the moment as a novice to be bothered with. That one can be a third language after learning C if I really see a need for it. I am ignoring Rust because one can already create memory safe code, it is just a matter of writing it into your code. Error handling and making sure it is graceful is an art. One that I plan on learning how to do without Rust.

Ultimately, another reason why is because I can create my own modules and other dependencies for the things I plan to create. As...the sloppening in open source is here, and in order to fight it, I need to use a language that is flexible for writing your own dependencies and modules.
