All of those do contain some C, but the ratio of it to all the js/java/python/swift etc. on top of that (because this router has web, ui, mobile app and so on) is growing.

Perhaps. But it was a lot larger 10 or 20 years go, and C was wiped out as "the language" from many domains it used to occupy.
- TickleSteve 8y agoI'm afraid the embedded world now is probably 10 to 20 time the size it was then.... the number of devices in corporating electronics and therefore software has skyrocketed.
- fiedzia 8y agoIt is, but non-embedded grew many orders of magnitude above that, not just in terms of size but also in terms of different branches.
- tjoff 8y agoAnd the supply of non-embedded programmers also grew many orders of magnitude above that. The question was whether job opportunities for C was scarce. I would not agree that it is.
