When I learnt C via the "learn C++ in 24 hours" type book. It was heavily C99, c11 wasnt a thing yet, oh hey what's that grey hair. I later actually went more GNU style. More functional C vs object orientated like C++ that they taught. I practically never coded a class in C. I havent coded in C in over 10 years now. I view it as a dead language. If you really need C-like language. Definitely go rust, no question. Today if im not coding in python, it's html/css templates being used by python.
