I love the feeling of directly interfacing with the hardware C gives me

Obligatory article: C Is Not a Low-Level Language

I will say most of the word in there are general attacks on all languages that aren't interpreted, and C and it's flavors are still closer to metal than all them and all it's competitors. Also, I challenge you to find anyone that has run one of the baked in concurrency languages dude talks about at work instead of with 5 year olds without looking like those before and after picks of obama.

That said, oof on memory. Just pretend your symbolic address is direct and go in blissful ignorance.
