And why is that?

I didn't mean "the language that's closest to the metal of all languages".

There are a lot of languages written in C, and there are a lot of them based on C syntax too. That explains my statement "the language of all languages".

I think C is a good language to gain a better understanding of how other languages work internally. If you want to learn a scripting language I would suggest Ruby instead of Python, but that's only an opinion based advice. Python has the , 'one way to do it philosophy', ruby has a 'write it how you want' philosophy . IMO Ruby is more flexible than Python.
