SHOULD YOU LEARN C TO "LEARN HOW THE COMPUTER WORKS"?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The claim that learning C teaches you "how computers work" is inaccurate because C operates within its own abstract machine, not directly on the hardware. However, learning C can provide great insights into computer architecture and operating systems, as the C abstract machine closely maps to these elements. For programmers primarily using higher-level languages, learning C can be valuable to understanding how their code interacts with the underlying machine.
