There is an important additional point: a language like C _holds_ you to a 
certain degree of diligence.

In my day-job I have to code in other languages, which make it "easy" to 
code.  As a result, the code I have to work with is sloppy, ugly and 
buggy.  By applying the same principles I am _forced_ to use in C, with 
Git, I produce better code.

Ciao,
