It's nice to see a good quality effort on a modern C book.

Looking at the current language/job markets outside the center, I feel like we are hitting the same problems as in open source. People add C++ to every C job to have something with the same level of innovations going on as new languages, even if it is about Linux embedded and you wouldn't let a C++ construct near the system.

I guess all these AVR, STM32 and ESP2866 devices running C++ are to be discarded too ?

Yes, and given that an Intel PC is a valid build target for almost every language and we pay were paying by the word in job classifieds, we almost went broke before we realized we had to throw them out too.

But after initial turbulence, life has gotten much simpler (and dare I say quiet) for our HR since we moved to using the stock job profiles shipped with the platforms we buy.

Thankfully there is also Arduino, ESP32, mbed, AUTOSAR and plenty of other embedded places where Linux and C aren't that relevant.
