Its because C is a bad first language, I remember when I first started programming what was really exciting to me was seeing something working. Beyond simple "hello world" type applications, C is going to take a lot more work. Its a great language, very useful for building things. However what makes it great is what makes it bad for first timers.
C#, or javascript, maybe python would be good languages in my opinion.

- smorrow 12y agoIf that's your criteria for a good first language, then I'd say shell script. You already need to know a subset of the shell and its commands anyway, to be able to use the computer in the first place. So from there, learning the programming-language aspects of it is a natural progression.
