Must every programmer Learn C Programming language?

I hear experienced programmers say that every programmer must know C Language. They say C is truth.

Hi @Luka, @Erick you do not need to learn C. If you really wanted to learn C it would help you will programming C++, in the long run. The C for C++ is useful, when you are good enough with the C++ basics. The C++ course here will not teach you how to use C with C++.

some might say that, but I don't think it is essential unless you want to look at assembler stuff and stuff that goes deep

@Erick C++ is based on C and is compatible with C, but they are different languages, the syntax is different and so on

But C/C++ are the same. And they are the best languages if am not wrong.

Most of C's syntax is also C++ syntax. Right?
