That reflects a bit of my experience... I always wanted to learn C, but was
afraid of it "strange" sintax (I came from Atari's Basic!). Euphoria was
great, not only I learned easily a great language, but teached me the
"principles" that make me comprehed C, C++, Java, etc. Better: With Euphoria
you learn at your own pace, with C you NEED to understand it well to code
something useful.
