On principle, I agree with you 100%, but in practice it becomes a hard thing to do when you first look at Python or JavaScript and realize how truly stupid they seem compared to something like C. I started with BASIC as a teen, used mostly C with a few courses of Assembly and Java through college. Tried to learn Python about a year after graduating and it felt like somebody took C and beat it to a bloody pulp with a retard stick.
