I was replying to this > Genuine question. With Rust and C++, even for embedded systems, what is the use case for starting a new project that does binary encoding and network with such an unsafe language like C? And I gave a genuine answer :) If you want to restrict the context to libwebsockets, I suggest you edit your question to clarify that. Network code != libwebsockets. I have written Ethernet-connected firmware without OS/RTOS on 8-32 bit MCUs that definitely would not be able to run libwebsocket. There is a big world in embedded between PLCs and e.g. RasPi. That is often where you use C (in my experience).
