C is boring technology. Occasion to make the news are rare. I hack things in C when some tools I use crash or is missing features. Or to learn how somethings work.
Just like if you want some basic HTML form attached to a database that's guaranteed to run everywhere, you write in PHP, if you want a simple Linux (and BSD) cli app, you write it in C. Both are dangerous tech (as in no guardrails), but you'll be set for decades with minimal maintenance.
The C programming language, on the contrary, is interesting if you have experience. I always create new things that have different uniquenesses. I recently created a notes program for Windows with GUI in C language, 67kb in size.
The C language offers many features that even surpass modern languages.

Many people still use C, I do for sure
Are you using it for embedded systems or regular software?
Regular software: a lisp implementation (https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/alisp) and a little online game (https://github.com/andreamonaco/zombieland)
Wow bro, that's cool, I especially liked the game, it's cool, and I'm currently developing a utility for viewing photos right in the terminal.

It's not ready yet, but can you please support it with a star like I did for you?
