C will be here a long time, but it shouldn't be. There's still zero reason to write new code in C. None. If you need to integrate with a legacy codebase, fine.

- vardump 5y agoWhile I agree Rust might be the future, there are a ton of platforms where C is still the only real option. Like for example many microcontrollers. Or legacy computer systems. But I do give you that the number of use cases where C is required are decreasing rapidly.
