Problem is that we haven't been able to come up with a good alternative. Go is limited by its curse of minimalism [1] while Rust is verbose and rigid [2]. One of the reasons C became popular was that it was designed to solve real problems, not an exercise in minimalism or academic beauty. Its authors frequently sacrificed beauty and minimalism if it made sense and real world use demanded it. Unlike Rust or Go or NimRod, C is not just strongly opinionated statements on language design. One of the side effect is also that new languages often come with sub-par libraries and language designers expect others/community to figure everything else out.
