Quite the other way around. C is a very structured language. And there are
almost no rules in 'C'. You can assign an char to a integer, integer to a
char. Do a unstructured goto like in other languages or do a sophisticated
goto like longjmp().
How easy you find a language, depends on how you learnt it and how much
passion you have for it. For me 'C' is like poetry. Just do an strace on a
perl program and an equivalent 'C' program and you will be surprised to find
the amount of gunk that is there in the higher level languages.
e.g.
You can take the following 'C' program as an example. Write the same in perl
and enjoy the gunk that comes out.
int
main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
__write(1, "hello world\n", 12);
}
