Do you think it is necessary to learn anything lower-level than

If you're not writing compilers or drivers, you could get away with not learning assembler, but you really to apply C development methodology in your projects if your want any semblance of performance.

It would give you a deeper understanding of computers and programming. You don't need to be a pro at assembly but at least learn it enough to write a simple program, even if you would never actually use it.

If you're trying to be a proficient C developer, then some assembly is required. If you're planning on working in higher level languages, it's probably ok to learn basic C and skip assembly.

Yes. If I were working with a programmer that didn't have any experience with Assembly at all, I would not trust his opinions on anything involving compilation. Knowing what your human readable code turns into gives you a much clearer idea of what truly efficient and functional code looks like. They don't need to be able to rewrite tons of stuff in it, but they should at least know what they're looking at if shown some. It also makes debugging tons easier if you're able to drill down to that level on your own.

Okay? And a well-rounded programmer needs to have strong opinions on compilation?

I'm not convinced someone needs to know Assembly or C today to be considered a 'well-rounded programmer'. Java along with some trivial languages like SQL and HTML could get you a great paying job and you could be in easily be in the 99th percentile of living programmers if you truly mastered it.

C is a faggot language, real programmers use assembly. At my job every production code is written on assembly language.

Obtain "C Programming: A Modern Approach" and read through the whole thing, and from there you can start your own projects and/or move on to more difficult books.

Because of the prevalence of Java, JavaScript, Python, Haskell, Lisp in universities, people think you need C to do "low level" programming.

Anything that lets you access data at specific memory addresses is fine.

Saying you need C to do systems programming (e.g. writing drivers or a garbage collector) is like saying you need JavaScript to have garbage collection.
