C programming language

Ask an actual question.

Many of the core concepts are identical across many languages:

-Functions
-Loops
-Control (if/else, switch)

And higher-level language knowledge is transferable to C.

Did Ritchie have any children? I don't want his genetics to disappear.

>Is C knowledge transferable to higher-level languages?

Only to let you write low level code in high level languages.

>>56581398
the basics are but past that, knowing details of C libraries and memory management is pretty pointless

>>56583379
unfortunately he did not

Why wouldn't it?
It doesn't mean that you can take any application written in C and integrate it in any project, but learning something can always be applied to other things you want to do, especially within the same field.
If you wish to learn something else, start there as it would probably be a faster way to learn it.

Is Latin transferable to English?

Now the real question is, is C knowledge marketable

>>56581398
Yes, to understand a very high level language like Lisp you have to understand the concept of pointers which cons cells are built on. You have to understand stack frames so you understand the importance of tail recursion.
