In my opinion, instead of asking and spending time reading the comments of everyone saying why you should learn C, you should have actually learned C. It's a great language and learning it will surely help you in your career.

Think of it this way: Why not learning it?




I asked this question for two reasons:

1) I had already started learning C. It is low-level, and I was getting disinterested. I wanted to know if it'd really be worth the work to learn it. (The answer is absolutely.)

2) So that other people, when wondering if they should learn C, would have a great list of hacker recommendations. (That has happened.)


If you are getting disinterested, do some project that C would be good at, like graphics, or a hardware driver, or an OS kernel.
