Would it be of interest to learn C or C++ if one already know python? I'm a linux and programming enthusiast (i.e hobbyist ;-) ) and C is pretty common on linux and many other applications. But is it worthwhile learning C if I already know python? What are the advantages C has over python?

Jump to PostIMO phthon is a toy that non-programmer hobbyists use, in the same category as Quick Basic. C/C++ is used by professional programmers to write real professional programs.

Personally I think everyone can benefit from learning C, but your question suggests that you don't see any point in it. If you're a hobbyist, don't force yourself to learn something you don't really want to.

So much for the pioneering spirit of hackers and hobbyists... :icon_rolleyes:
