You can be fine with ANSI C, The C programming language 2nd ED and tcc for
most software from https://codemadness.org , git://bitreich.org and https://2f30.org
These are tons of small minimalist tools for anything. I love sacc for gopher

with a little script to download files per arg with 'basename'.
