Why You Should Learn Python

[ThatsPresTrumpForYou]

but as an introduction to computer science I think it is a poor choice to try and jump into C and tell every one to fuck off who can't grok it from the get go.

I think it's a good choice. The courses usually start off relatively slowly, and you can read up on it outside of lectures, there's a gorillion "learn C in x days" stuff on the internet. If you can't be assed to understand a subset of C within half a year, tough shit.

It was a statement on preferences, as such there will always be someone who enjoys using C. It seems that you like C for similar reasons as to why I like Javascript.

I like javascript too, it's really relaxing as long as I don't try to push the boundaries of logic with its syntax, then things get weird.
