MODERATORS
No way it's C. The average student will go home and find that they can't do much of anything they like, with the level of C they know. Even printing a string is famously hard in C, they'll hate it. Nothing drains their interest in programming faster than segfaults.
The average students wants to build games, websites, discord bots etc. Javascript makes it easy, none are easy in C.
