C is a great language to learn if you want understand the fundamentals of computer. Personally, C was on of the first language that I learned, and until today help me if I want to learn a new language!
I'd say it's a bit crufty/quirky. Zig seems to be a good modern alternative. Basically a very similar language in the core, with a much more pleasant syntax.
Wondering how long it will take before Linux can be ported to Zig by LLMs. Supposedly subset of it already builds with the Zig compiler (which also compiles C), with some minimal adjustments.
