‘Much’ is a relative term; there may be more absolute lines being written today than at its relative peak. But I see the spaces where a green-field project would choose C shrinking; even lightbulbs run C++ now that economies of scale have made 32-bit controllers so cheap. (I've written a lot of C, including parts of a C compiler, so I know it well, and I'm just not seeing it get much attention now. But if I could write Zig in a job I do think that would be more fun than writing C in a job again.)
