I think every coder who have the time to do so should learn C. Preferably before anything else. Maybe I'm biased by my education, since I started with almost a year of hardcore C(almost no libs, coding everything from scratch), I did code a bit before but nothing serious. After 1 year of segfaults, memory leaks, and random buffer overflows, everything else seems pretty easy, and everything make much more sense.

You won't just get better at python, you'll get better at pretty much anything involving programming or understanding how a computer works.

I've seen a lot of people say that if you learn C well, you're basically employable for the next 30 years. I think I agree with that.

In embedded systems programming, right? It must take significant C expertise and experience to be gainfully employed. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

I agree with you, and at the same time, I notice your username says throwaway.

It seems liking the C language is frowned upon in this site.
