really awful novice reason to learn C … you are almost lying.
C, C++ for performance , but like a stick shift, its the most difficult to master
all the other ones are literally like learning a different language in that you can say the same thing in every world language, you can program the same thing in every programming language
and if you cant then you must be a journalist that doesnt know how to code, idiot

Just because something might be possible in another language, it doesn't mean it is going to be as elegant to do. For example it would be a pain to do denotative continuous time programming in C, because C sucks at making abstractions. Just because a language being Turing complete means you can do any computation, it doesn't necessarily mean that you would want to do that computation with that language. As an aside, Turing completeness is overrated and leads to problems such as not being able to prove if your program enters an infinite loop doing nothing.
Neither of your posts include them saying, "Learn to code", or a paraphrase of that.

If you can't hack C you'll never make it as a programmer and you should never even try. In fact, I'd say you should start with ASM to know how computers really work.

hahahahahahaha
That's soooooooooooo untrue. There are soooooo many programmers who won't touch C. Let's start with Fortran.

bro, people are trying to communicate across the world and store and analyze data
not everyone gives a fuck about automating your hotpocket and poptart meals via text message.

Plus, everything's moving to the cloud, so ASM will only be for people who are doing OS level stuff, soon enough.
