> Just like JavaScript is frequently everyone's top choice for the browser No, not really, and frankly this feels like a disingenuous comparison done in bad faith. I'm sure you know that, unlike C, javascript is pretty much the only option on the table if your goal is to produce anything remotely resembling production code. Also, as you certainly are aware, that's far from the case with C. In fact, you should certainly be aware that one of the most popular compiler toolkits there is, and one which has been the de facto standard for a few decades now, offers C only as a front-end, on par with languages such as Ada, which already was around for close to a decade before C's first international standard was published. Thus, you'll need to come up with an explanation of why people repeatedly pick C over well established languages explicitly designed to meet he requirements you favour, and one which is already around for four decades, and is already standard and widely available and enjoys some adoption in some fields. But in spite of it everyone still picks C over it.
