@argv_minus_one @dadregga @lina I dunno. It's comparatively easy to write a C compiler and toolchain, so the language is available literally everywhere. And it's very WYSIWYG, which is handy when you're writing low-level code. I think there's a strong argument for being good at C in various fields. But much less of an argument for having it be your favorite language. The simplicity of the language offloads the burden of complexity onto the programmer, which means maintenance issues and bugs.
