As an infosec guy, I used to spend alot time writing and optimizing own projects in C. This was because C was regarded as the language of elite hackers. As a novice I took it seriously. At some point Python became really popular in infosec and practically all tools were written in it. It was also used by malware authors. This got me to learn the language and realize that it can do everything for me I need C for, while being a lot faster to develop. So I mostly left C for Python and later for other higher level labguages. Nowadays at $WORK I occasionally read and fuzz C code. But don't write it at all. On my own projects I use C#/Elixir/Python/Perl as they let me make the most of my limited free time.
