> everyone starts learning programming with a C-based language
Idk about that, especially in the past decade. Python seems to be the most popular language that people pick up on their own as their first one.
As for the intro college courses for programming, they mostly seem to be Python or Java, with occasional C (havent seen that one myself yet for an intro class), and one incidence of OCaml (apparently Cornell teach their intro to CS in it).
