If someone wants to start mastering C, thats excellent!
learning a new language is never a waste of time - if you dont use C for FIRST you will use it for something else
besides - computer software = algorythms + data structures
it doesnt matter what language you use, thats nothing but syntax and structure
if you can program in basic, you can program in C, and in pascal, and whatever langauage you want.
think of it like some other disipline. If you understand physics, it doenst matter what language you speak, if you learned in french, you can learn to speak english or german well enough to be a physicist in england or Germany
right?
but any time you learn something new, and invest your energy into it, thats a good thing!

I'm not against learning new languages, I encourage it! Why is everyone getting my points mixed up into what they want them to be? I've already stated what I ment.
Yes, if someone wants to learn C, that is great! It's a fine language from what I have done w/ it, and it's great all around. I'm not saying C is a bad language, I'm saying it may not actually be the language we use this year.

If you program in any language, you can program in another, even if you never programmed before.

Indeed, new languages are always good. Speaking of which, seeing as you seem to have an obsession with Delphi, have you tried Kylix?

I don't really have an obsession w/ Delphi, because I never really touched it. I'm just using Delphi as an example because it was the first to come to my head when I started this thread.
I haven't tried Kylix, because I don't have a *nux operating system (if it runs on windows, please tell me and I'll use it).
Please, if anyone else has an arguement like the above ones, please just PM me, or IM me. I got my contact info in my sig.
