    There is a point to be made that C is the foundation to all other languages, and thus being able to write C let’s you better understand how other C based languages (which is basically all of them) work.

    I personally believe that in a academic sense, C should be your first language. However in a non-professional hobby context start with whatever you feel like.

      No it isn’t. Go for example. Or Lisp in some cases.
