I think that with C you won't get "addicted" to a lot of "easy" stuff you get with Python, Java, C#. for example, even if you won't use pointers in long term, I believe it's something that every programmer should know about (even more if you don't want web programming)
after you feel comfortable with it, you can try the other languages. programming in Python SHOULD be even easier if you already know how to program "the hard way".
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
