I can only concur. I found getting up to (a decidedly moderate) speed in z/OS C was a hard grind. I had no (external) doco, and the nuances of the big-iron implementation were a PITA. No background in LE probably didn't help. Didn't take long to lapse back into assembler, and wash my hands of it completely. Mind you, I'm probably going to have to take a closer look at the zLinux source-tree one day ...
