Title: We hire C developers at OpenDNS.  Most often, we hire them from some other company where they have been working for the better part of a decade.<p>They are computer scientists and they are very smart.<p>But we also like to hire students graduating from college.  It's rare for us to find a CS graduate who knows C, let alone one who enjoys writing in C.<p>Apparently most CS is taught in Java and Python these days, with one or two courses in algorithms or operating systems.  There seems to be only a few classes where C is involved.<p>Is this because teachers don't like teaching in C?  Or because students prefer the speed of development of a language like Python or Java?  Where are the students who do like C?  Where can I find those guys (and girls)?
