Is learning C really a must for a programmer?

Many have this opinion. Somehow, by doing manual memory management allocation and garbage mangement one would become a better programmer.

I have little experience in C mainly because I can write terser and more readable code in Racket or Haskell. However I'm willing to give C a try just to learn these lessons that everybody keeps talking.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that I already know most of what is there to know. Can you list some useful lessons that a typical high level code dweller would be oblivious of?

I guess this is listenable if you're completely oblivious to the so called ``chiptune'' genre, however this is really terrible and you should honestly feel bad for liking it.

Makes me wanna puke, the fact that people who post such things invariably have the most awful taste.
