For any reason a programmer or a normal man nowadays needs to know C language because its just like Mathematics in the real world for any programming. So anywhere and everywhere in this world, C language is taught first of all to begin to know about software or programming!! What do you feel about this and how far we can make other similar languages for a starter?? Tell all your opinions and suggestions eventhough you doesn;t know ABCD of C language!!

I think because C language is the high-level programming language with low-level facilities.It is a statically typed free-form multi-paradigm language supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, generic programming and RTTI. Since the 1990s, C++ has been one of the most popular commercial programming languages.
