Yet, people still doubt the necessity of learning C!
@mirsadra you def don't need to learn c lol
c is implemented in assembly, so you need to learn assembly??
assembly is implemented by transistors, so you need to learn circuits??
There's a level of abstraction that people stop at, and over the years it's probably averaging higher rather than lower
why stop at transistors though? that's so superficial. And you left out the whole layer of microcode!
transistors are implemented in solid state physics, so better learn your single electron approximation.
solid state physics is just a bunch of quantum mechanics, so have fun solving the hydrogen hamiltonian.
now we might be at the end: you certainly need a bunch of mathematics, but you could argue that quantum mechanics isn't made of mathematics, it's just using math
