This is definitely appealing to my curmudgeon heart. But I translate it into my corner of the world and the equivalent is everyone should know c. We don’t need everyone to know c.
Everything else being exactly equal would I like someone I work with to know c over not? Sure.
But would I take a world with many fewer programmers that all knew c over the one we have today—definitely not. It would be a significantly poorer world.
