I admire C for everything it teached me about programming, but nowadays I actually hate writing it. For all my personal projects I switched over to Python years ago because I just don't want to waste a single more minute dealing with basic stuff like strings in C. I love the batteries-included mentality of Python because it lets me concentrate on implementing actual solutions to my problems instead of fighting against the build system or reliably converting strings into integers. If there would be some kind of batteries-included version of C then I would certainly look into it again, but for now Python is just my preferred tool to get stuff done. (yes, C++ is better in this regard than C, but it is still to cumbersome for my use case of rapidly playing around with new ideas).
