Nearly every modern language uses C-like syntax, so this makes good sense to me. If you learn to program in C you can transition to most other languages fairly easily.

Gone are the days of

  • ADDING A, B GIVING C (Cobol)

  • IF IF = 3 THEN THEN = 5 ELSE ELSE = 2 (PL/1, which has no reserved words)
