> Overall, knowledge of C is only going to help. Whether you want to use it to use it for your next project is something that depends on the problem at hand.

Of course! To be clear, I'm not arguing against learning C in general. I'm very happy that I learned C.

I'm arguing against the point made in the post that you should learn C over newer languages. And like I said, "shit my codebase is in C" (i.e. point #1 from the post) is a totally valid reason to learn C. The other points are not.
