Program Fitbit in C

First of all, really well done. Fitbit devices are a pleasure to code for. I've written apps for Android in the past and and the SDK is an unholy mess and it filled me with dread every time I switched on my computer. All the Fitbit tools, the simulator, the command line tools, and studio, are fantastic and the documentation is great too.

But I really would be overjoyed if I could program my Ionic in C. It would mean faster apps with more available memory and a language I'm more familiar with. I suspect internally Fitbit and some of its partner companies are already using C. Please open this up to everyone!

Thanks for the feedback. Although some internal applications have been developed in C, we do not currently have any plans to release any additional languages for the SDK.
