I can confirm that. I write C for embedded systems every day, but for better or worse, I don't see any replacement for it in foreseeable future. C++, Python, Java etc. might be used at higher levels (GUI, for example), but all the guts are still good, old, plain C. Rust is still in its infancy so it's hard to tell and even if it succeed, it will be evolution, not revolution and will take decades to replace C fully. HN is a bit of echo chamber as mostly SaaS, web and other high level application developers are here. For them C might be dead as well, but if you have anything to do with hardware and system programming, C is still the tool.
