WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LEARN C?

FOR REALS? WHATS THE POINT? TOO MUCH MICRoMANAGED BULLSHIT THAT GETS YOU NO WHERE EXCEPT A HOLE IN THE HEAD. BESIDES, YOU CANT USE C FOR ANYTHING USEFUL!!!! WHY DONT YOU LEARN A REAL LANGUAGE LIKE JAVA OR C#??? OR BETTER YET, PHP.

C is a systems programming language. It was designed to allow the programmer to micromanage execution down to low level detail. If you are building large scale apps that require speed and efficiency, then you have to learn how to manage run time efficiency. Faster processors have not made low level languages obsolete, they merely enable a much larger scale of complexity.

there is no reason to use C or C++ unless you have the above mentioned requirement, Java, C# should be fine in any other situations
