Do we have to learn something at all? Some people seems to proof that one can spent a whole life without that. Evan Miller once wrote an essay about that topic: [https://www.evanmiller.org/index.html](https://www.evanmiller.org/index.html) [https://www.evanmiller.org/you-cant-dig-upwards.html](https://www.evanmiller.org/you-cant-dig-upwards.html) By the way, Harvards CS50x course seems to still start with C: [https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x?source=aw&awc=6798_1510848020_5cad2c7b0f12998c7576c903d93dbc3c&utm_source=aw&utm_medium=affiliate_partner&utm_content=text-link&utm_term=78888_Skimlinks#](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x?source=aw&awc=6798_1510848020_5cad2c7b0f12998c7576c903d93dbc3c&utm_source=aw&utm_medium=affiliate_partner&utm_content=text-link&utm_term=78888_Skimlinks)! But that course may be more for people intending to become really bright.
