Nit-picking time: there's probably a difference between the average age of a HNer and the average age of an HNer that knows C. Conditional probabilities and all that.

That being said, I'm an "average age" HNer that has worked with (and loved working with) C. I'm looking for excuses to work with it more, although it doesn't really intersect with my type of work (statistics).

Maybe I should contribute to Redis or other OSS...any suggestions?

The core of R is written in C, I think. Might be worth a look?

I think that CLIPS (a tool for building expert systems) needs an update, including a shift to a more Redis-like interface and philosophy. The core of CLIPS is still pretty nice, but the project seems to have grown well beyond its natural borders.

work on the python or ruby interpreters! Beautiful code, both of them.
