First, just wanted to say I follow your blog for a long time and use software you created for many years, so I respect you a lot!

I think we're just violently agreeing. You posted a few reasons people may feel compelled to use as reasons to learn C that are misleading. I'm just adding to that from my personal experience that learning C, even if you are not going to use it every day, also has a collateral advantage to help when talking to people who "think in C" as an abstraction.

Peace.
