I would say: every programmer should learn to talk to low level devices first.

For example when you use an Arduino you program in a stripped down Java language, but you will learn a ton about how computers work because you learn about I/O. You will learn about bit swapping, shifting, and what not.

I don't think programming is about a language. It's about how you think about computers.
