Is C a good language to start out learning programming?

What would be a good programming language to start learning in 2013?

  • Been 4+ years since I last coded in C, linux and embedded programming.  Not into web programming - more on the backend. Thoughts?

Haskell, Erlang, Scheme, Clojure, Standard ML, Ocaml, Scala… It's hard to beat Joe Armstrong's answer to this: What would I recommend learning? - C - Prolog - Erlang (I'm biased) - Smalltalk - Javascript - Haskell / ML / OCaml - LISP/Scheme/Clojure A couple of years should be enough (PER LANGUAGE). (via http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2013-January/071949.html) …though in my opinion you could skip C.
