Most courses I know teach Java and Python, C is now treated more like a specialized language for embedded hardware, controllers, and OS drivers.

I'm embedded dev guy, using C++ and C, I'm all for teaching people C as their first language.

But what I'm seeing around me is lots of courses 'how to become high-paying software developer in one month', and of course they teach Java and web development, because it's relatively easy to teach, and pointers are scaaaaary.

Half of our new hires are coming to us with Python background, then learn C on the fly.

In my university we were using Pascal/Delphi, with brief introduction to Assembler and Lisp. I would prefer C++ of course, but it still was better than those courses I'm seeing now. That was around 10 years ago.

Unpeeled shrimp looks pretty close to insect, and easy to find, you can start with that.

And many more in Russia are against Putin, so what?

Yes, they can be pro-Russian, but no one wanted that war of course, not even other Russians.

For a typical mobile game, what is the ratio between coding / graphics design / level design / audio / playtesting?

Aside from adventure games, I guess they are 90% graphics / 9% audio / 1% setting up IDE.
