Your operating system, your browser, your database engine, your web server, git, your JavaScript engine, your Python interpreter… all of these are likely written in C/C .
I repeatedly encourage people to learn many programming languages. I do not (at all) think that C or C should be used systematically. I use different programming languages. If you can, use Go, Python, JavaScript, C#, Java, Zig, etc.... they are often better choices than C.
I literally just published a new book on Python programming (see Amazon). It is a great language.
However, if you are proudly broadcasting your belief that safe and performant complex systems cannot be written in C or C , you are showing your ignorance and you are signalling that you are unable to match what countless programmers have done over decades.
And no, C programming is not elitist. Generations of teenagers taught themselves C. Working with C strings does not require a Ph.D.
people here talking about how C/C is unsafe, no good, don't learn it
Your browser was written in C. Your OS was written in C. AAA games are in C. game engines are in C. "safe" languages are (or were) in C. Your art tools, written in C. Audio tools, C.
