> Or maybe I'm just grumpy because I interviewed a Caltech CS grad last week who flat out did not know C. Never touched it in his studies. World's gone nuts.

I've heard stories about some students in France, who are doing a whole year and half of C projects before anything else. Maybe these are just far tales of unicorns.

Former (French) engineering student here: indeed we (at least in my school) started learning programming with C ! Matlab was also used, but in more specific courses (signal processing, control theory with Simulink...).

Not Fairy tales. There is a least two major schools with a throughput of 1000 students / year each that do it this way in Paris : Epitech.net (7000$/year) and 42.fr (no fees).

Strange. The operating systems class when I attended (late 2000s) required C. I wonder what they replaced it with?

More C => more Good. Balance has been restored.
