I have no idea what you're whining about.

The most fun things to program in C are usually embedded. If you're in a sophisticated OS environment it often feels stupid to write C unless you're doing something that is easier to do in C, but such things are usually even more fun in embedded environments.

I don't think you understand the productivity of writing application software in C as compared to more modern high level languages. I guarantee that you can get more work done in less time in a modern language and this is why you don't see a demand for the C language outside of embedded applications.

I mean you could go to programs that are meant to interface with embedded systems however do a plethora of other things as well. I'd say yeah. You've obviously got operating system development, but also progs like digital audio workstations that allow combination of midi or audio controllers to work with a computer. In other words yeah, but not really off the top of my head.

There are operating systems, drivers etc. But stuff that isn't really low level is usually done in C++, as really large C projects usually end up becoming a mess.

oh fuck, so I'm learning C for nothing? fml please kill me

C is the best language if you want real performance for your code, usually best in embedded, but some software that wants perf are made in C. I work for a company who's software is the best in perf because of the C

moreover, once you know the C language, every language is quite easy to learn after that …
