People who complain that CoreChart is too easy are missing the point. Skill in software engineering is all about algorithmic understanding and intuition. Implemenation is an important, but ultimately secondary, concern. Programming languages are more or less arbitrary.

That said, I really like C. C is an industry standard for a reason, it gives you almost as much control as assembler, but allows for abstraction. It is, for me, perfectly placed on the abstraction/control continuum.
