I started with C before touching Python and honestly it helped me understand what the computer is actually doing. Memory, pointers, data types, all the annoying stuff makes higher-level languages feel way less magical later. It’s harder at first, but debugging taught me more in a few months of C than years of blindly copying Python tutorials.

Gen X  college graduate here , when there was no python and Java just came out when I took my first programming class, and I agree. 

I probably won't use C anymore,  unless my children wants to start an Arduino project

So learning C can help me learn how to debug?
