Yet, I am mentoring some young devs. And i see a pattern as I advise them to learn C. Some do have "eureka" moments and begin to understand many things about their current higher level language of choice. Others don't and struggle all along. Most often than not, the 1rst category will have a much brighter career in programming than the 2nd one. And that is perfectly fine, as none can do everything. So, i really think that C is my canary. Much like ancient greek and latin are in the academics. Except that C is actually still very useful by itself
