My formal CS education started with ML, went to LISP, then Modula-2,
and then C.

We could quibble over all of the details of CS curriculum, but I just
find a program that never really teaches C over the course of 4 years
to be a little bit odd, that's all.

I don't necessarily think that C should be a first language either.
