C is definitely a very relevant and used language.

    I've been working with C for the last 20 years. But I've also been using different languages like C++, C#, PHP, Java, Pascal and various assembly languages for a very long time. I'm tired of hearing "Language X is outdated because of [insert stupid reason]".

    Every programming language has been created with a certain purpose in mind. While one language is very close to the hardware (i.e. has a very low layer of abstraction), others come with huge runtimes and libraries, allowing for a solution that requires less code, but has a higher runtime penalty.

    It's only a matter of choosing the right language for the right problem/job. But I'm drifting off...

    C is still a beautiful language and has its place in this world.

    Ofcourse it's being used. Just not as much, since there are some great languages built on top of C that allow for faster development.

    No doubt C is useful but I do hope Rust can take its place someday.
