hahah , if i didnt know any better i'd think you were trying to make me have a go at it :p ...

i stil have a book here i bought long ago but i actually never started :

As you can see from the html version a long time ago in a galaxy far away, when i had this most exciting job for the government (which in my case means taking photocopies and writing letters because that's all im good for without a degree , i dont think they actualy hire people anymore who don't have a college or preferable uni degree, not even for making coffee lol). The job was SO boring and so quickly finished i went out at noon to the bookstore a lot and bought some, got the IT-guy to give me full access and learned html lol. But never got to the rest, when the contract ended and everyone told me to go "talk to this one" and "talk to that one" because they could make sure i could stay i thanked them and said that i might come back when i'm 50 because otherwise i would die of boredom if i stayed there ... (people totally declared me crazy for refusing that)

as for your question, im not sure if you're asking the right person since i had computer for a friend since i was eight (my trusty c64 and after getting bored out of latin/math i ended up studying 'modern' languages in high school)

BUT if i would take a logical approach to the question (regardless of personal talent of people) i'd say C is easier because there are no exceptions, and living language always has exceptions . Programming logic remains the same over all languages (the core at least) so C would be easier, but i bet to a lot of people it's not :)
