...and then once you have learned what you set out to learn by programming in C, immediately stop programming in it unless you are doing some heavy-duty programming (like writing an OS or bleeding-edge game development) You can write robust apps in nearly any language, but the language you are using when you make a mistake (and you will make mistakes) will determine what happens. Screw up in Python, Perl, BASIC, Java, etc. and your app will crash. Screw up some memory management in C or C++ and your OS will crash.
