As a very minor counterpoint: I like C because frankly it’s fun. I wouldn’t start a web browser or maybe even an operating system in it today, but as a language for messing around I find it rewarding. I also think it is incredibly instructive in a lot of ways. I am not a C++ developer but ANSI C has a special place in my heart.
Also, I will say that when it comes to programming Arduinos and ESP8266/ESP32 chips, I still find that C is my go to despite things like Alia, MicroPython, etc. I think it’s possible that once Zig supports those devices fully that I might move over. But in the meantime I guess I’ll keep minding my off by one errors.
