How many people code in C these days, and if so, why?

Oh it's a piece of piss to install python 3 on MacOS. Take the mac and chuck it out the window or install windows on it. Seriously. I was a mac user from ~2001 -> 2019 and now I spend the entire day watching our contractors fixing shit on it to do basic stuff that actually just works on windows. It's both hilarious and surprising because back in 2008 it was the other way round. Python packaging on linux is crap too. I spent at least 5 days this year unfucking centos python packages where someone has installed something with pip on the target node.
So windows 10 + python/go + VScode + minikube for me now.
Also surprisingly perhaps MS's cloud offering is the least shit as well (I'm not going to say the best because that doesn't exist)
Edit: proof I'm a turncoat. Python on OSX ...
Actually that machine gave me a nasty arm rash constantly.

That's remind me how it done on Windows |O to install either specific version of MS C++ tools and Mingw & Co :palm:

For somebody who still in love with C, but tempted by Python, there is something for you too - called Cpython >:D

On windows you install Chocolatey and then run "choco install python"

I really don't get the mingw stuff. It's just another layer of headache. Is it my stuff, is it the wrapper, is it a windows bug?
