Because it's the golden standard.
Eat shit Black folk, the White Man loves his C
Now read this and weep:
FPBP & Checked
because you're a fat dumb boomer and everyone needs to use Go and Rust or DIE
How aggressive.
cope with C being the influence for all those troony languages motherfricker
>cope with C being the influence for all those troony languages motherfricker
C influence is what makes something a troony language, but the less of it the better.
C(had) is just such a masculine language, other langs give up trying to compete and go down the troony femboy path in order to otherwise remain a somewhat viable option.
It's cancer, much like PHP, Windows, and microplastics. It's permeated everywhere, infected everything, refuses to frick off and die much as everyone who's sane wants it to. It's here to stay, and countless future generations will pay the price.
C IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! C HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! C WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! C IS THE STANDARD LANGUAGE! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
With all caps, you're actually obligated to use sarcasm.
heh, when you find someone on your same wavelength.
C IS THE WAY, THE PATH, THE LIFE.
NONE SHALL BECOME THE MACHINE BUT THROUGH C.
WEBSHITS TREMBLE AND DESPAIR FOR YOUR TIME IS OVER.

Because it's exactly at the right level of complexity for a certain class of problems.
It's high enough above the hardware that it's portable as all fricking get-out (and big enough that chip-makers cater to it) and low enough to actually control what's happening without half a dozen possible gotchas and quirks and pitfalls and shortcuts cropping up in codebase every 100 lines.
It's not suited for utilizing parallel processing, It's not great at handling even little shit like strings. But between it's control and the collective experience with it, C is the best choice for critical code. From life-critical medical equipment to missiles to banking software to operating systems. Use C where it counts.
>C
>portable
Wanna know how I can tell you've never looked at a nontrivial C codebase, fren?
>that it's portable as all fricking get-out
People who say this never really did anything important in C.
Portable meaning C code runs everywhere, not that the same C codebase is portable.

I disagree and the creators would also disagree.
It's simply the only thing in it's niche.
We desperately need innovation at this level and lower levels. It's just holding us back a bit.
But that requires mastering logic and maths before even attempting. Then you need to examine the linguistic restraints on the mathematical language used. You need to examine the current flaws in circuitry at the most primal level to do this.
What a pain in the ass.
So we all still use C to this day because people just cannot master this level of wizardry.
Learn Ada, homosexual.

This has never been true.

People already did all of this and there were solutions already before C.
>So we all still use C to this day because people just cannot master this level of wizardry.
C was made without knowing any of this, which is why it sucks. C was a quick hack, no wizardry or intelligence at all, and the guy who looks like soijack did not care about good code.

>C is super portable you guys
>You just have to write an entire backend for every arch
Hey, you still have one language for the whole codebase
BOW BEFORE THE ONE TRUE LANGUAGE! THE UR-LANGUAGE THAT ALL THE FALSE IDOLS PRETEND TO BE! WEEP INTO YOUR TRANSITORY DRINKS AS THEY SLIP AWAY LIKE SO MUCH LOST MEMORY. BUILD NOT YOUR HOUSE UPON SHIFTING SAND BUT DRILL DOWN TO THE STABLE BEDROCK OF C!

come back when rust is used for medical or military applications
The golden standard is Ada, ya dumb shit. Only idiots use C for anything other than legacy codebases.
yeah good luck using ada to write and exploit
yeah good luck using haskell to write and exploit
Ask me how I know you're underaged and likely gay
It's not the golden standard, Haskell is.
its not gold standard, the only reason its not dead is because rewriting everything in c++ or rust is huge waste of resources, other than that new system level programs are either written in c++ or rust. even linux kernel has given the green light to rust now.
>Go
>Replace C
Literally no one but a larping moron thinks Go was something to repace C.
Same can be said about trannies and Rust. The only real competitors to C have been C++ and Ada.
>Same can be said about trannies and Rust
No, it can't. Rust could replace C (it won't, but it could). In no way shape or form could Go replace C. It's a GC'd language and need an allocator, it literally can not be a contender for a C replacement. Rust at the least has #[no_std] so you can use it in an embedded context. Like I said, only moronic larpers think Go could be a C replacement.
Rust insists on static linking everything, always. It gets disqualified on that alone.
So you're using a different definition to everyone else and claiming victory. Ok kid.
>It gets disqualified on that alone.
No. Also you can dynamically link iirc, it's static by default.
It INSISTS upon itself.
>can't even avoid seg faults
Thank god I used VMs to dabble with C and C++.
In C a man is a man, a woman is a woman and a pointer is a pointer. No HRT here. It is the language of reality.
>a pointer is a pointer
You hear about provenance?
A pointer is whatever the standard says it is and the standard is schizophrenic
One way or another, it's going to be put down like the rabid dog it is.
> Golden standard
Anon...
legacy the only thing keeping this monstrosity alive.If you lets say wanted to improve c for example give it non moronic pointer syintax.You would have to rewrite everything and its too much shit to handle so you just tolerate it as it is.
Don't get me wrong - I love C but
*pfffts! in your path*

It's never going away, not because of any inherent quality but because there's just too much written in it.
Because it's fricking simple
