<p>You ever see one of those TV shows where the star athlete hangs his head, begins to cry and shockingly admits, "I never learned to read!"</p>
<p>Well here is one from a perl programmer: "I never learned C!"</p>
<p>It's got to be useful to know, but I never got around to learning it. I've done some ASSEMBLER, Java, Basic, and a few languages no one's even heard of, but not a single line of C or C++ code has ever been uttered from my keyboard.</p>
<p>Well now I am getting involved in projects where C is rearing its head, mocking me, shaming me for the times it tried to introduce itself to me whilst I casually turned my back</p>
<p>Should I learn how to program in C? It seems silly, like learning how to drive a Model T, or learning how to use an Abacus.</p>
