It's very valuable but not worth acquiring for most developers. I write relatively lot of C, I don't enjoy the familiarity, it just gets the job done for me in 90% less time because the tooling is there, the IDE is there, the documentation and support is good, the libraries are there - it matters a lot in what languages I find tolerable I've noticed. I like PLPGSQL, it's also has all that I've listed, I didn't like Ada and it doesn't have what I listed, because I had to "invent the wheel" so much. In the end, why spend 50-90 % more time to get that last x% of some foggy benefit?
