Your facetious claim was that understanding how a modern computer works is best done by learning C. I said it's best done by learning how a modern computer works with classes on computer architecture with intros to fundamental techniques. The comment I'm replying to has good detail on ways C maps to computers better than most languages. Original claim is still false across the board where people capitalizing on underlying hardware are better off understanding various forms of computing followed by languages that take most advantage of each or most of them.
