I've used C++20 on embedded devices and the generated code was simpler than the C version. Why do you still use C?
I want to learn rust and got the recommendation to learn C first.
C is useless nowadays (and has been for at least 20 years). Either learn Rust or C++.
This is such an incorrect take for real. C is far from useless and still used all over the place in all kinda of professional projects. And I'm talking new projects started this year, not just legacy maintenance.
