C doesn't bring anything. If i want to implement an IDE in C for performance and portability reasons, with a binary protocol that works over sockets i'd only need to worry about that binary protocol and sockets are provided by every OS. With DAP i'd need to implement a JSON parser, a subset of HTTP and of course the DAP itself. (yes, there are 3rd party libraries that provide some or all of the above, but they may not be applicable for a variety of reasons, including API stability, maintainability, compiler support, host/target OS support, tooling support, C language version support and a bunch of others)
