To offer an alternative perspective, I was also given a K&R C book as a child, and it was like the entire world opened up its secrets to me. We're all different, hey. Today, though, I wouldn't wish C programming on my worst enemy, much less a learner.https://twitter.com/wycats/status/935910970852909056 …

Yeah, to be fair, I was already doing Z80 assembly when I started learning C, so if anything C made things a lot easier to deal with. But really the advantage was in the ecosystem I gained access to, which was unparalleled at the time (1989). Definitely not true any more.
