-- And of course C is a good language to learn. Not as a "first language" but as one of the "languages to know".
This is how I feel about it. Better to learn with something a bit more forgiving (IMO something like Python is good, even if these days I prefer compiled languages), but as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th language C or at LEAST C++ should be required. Having to actually deal with memory yourself makes such a huge difference in how you treat your programs.
