In my oppinion C should have been deprecated about 50 years
ago and it's not worth while to learn it if you are not
interested in the history of programming or you have to learn
it, because you need to maintain software which is allready
written in C. But that's my oppinion; others may have a
different sight.

Could you elaborate more about C being a burden? I have read so
many people saying C gives a great foundation and should be
everyone's first language. Now I am confused.
One example is this recent post:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/yjgkatpbkdyyksldg...@forum.dlang.org
“[...] recently all the problems I am having with D are because D
is actually superior to C and some assumptions I still have
because of C should be uninstalled from my brain.”
If you plan on ending up with D anyway, I think that learning C
first is an unnecessary detour and can be counter productive in
some ways. And if your objective is to have fun, I would
recommend against C (except for a masochistic kind of fun).
Don’t take the detour, take the D tour! :-)
