It depends what you're writing. I wrote an incremental generational garbage collector in C, and rather regretted the time I spent debugging it. If I wanted it to be at all concurrent, I think I would've given up doing it in C. Right tool for the right job and all that. But lately I've strongly been preferring Rust, Ada, and ATS for anything I'd use C for.
