The missing meta lessons: don't fall for overly simple characterizations, and don't be a language bigot. "C is Efficient" is largely true, but it's certainly not always true, and there are problem domains where it's seldom true. If you don't know that this is the case with any language then you're not qualified to be picking an implementation language anyway.
