Agreed. I spent 10 years writing C in the 90s but very little since. Even still, I find my understanding of eg Go is based on what is being allocated where, compared to colleagues from eg Java or JS, who have never dealt with that, and who focus on syntax and features. One was raving about slices, which are a struct of ptr + length built into the syntax. Obvious with a C background.
