I don't know much about it. What's its niche? C's major win is the ability to explicitly manage (and, thereby, reason about) memory. Garbage collection is great but I tend to associate it with high-level languages like Python, Haskell and Clojure. I'm sure there is a niche for GC'd mid-level languages (e.g. Go) but I'm not yet experienced with them enough to know what it is.
