In my opinion, C would be a lot harder for the middle school students to learn. C isn't very readable if you ask me.

For one you have to teach them

{are all over the place}

Then why the main code is void, but works.

I think StickOS is a bit easier for them for their first intro to micro controllers. But that may be because I don't understand why the brackets are all over the place.
