I beg to differ. Knowing any programming language, not just C will almost
certainly help. Knowing how to write a loop or a function (/macro) is common to
nearly every language, once the techniques have been developed it is suprisingly
easy to use another. I was brought up on a diet of Pascal, and the transfer to
POV-script and C++ was very easy.
