We still use C because: 1. It's a super simple no-bullshit language that's available on basically all platforms. 2. There's no advantage/incentive to port codebase to another language. If it works, Why fix it? 3. C provides super basic abstraction while being higher-level than Asm, Thereby it's easier to maintain & The generated code is BETTER than handwritten assembly in most cases.

I'm afraid I have access only to C. But still appreciate the humor.
@cpubug
Oh my god, now I'm afraid of what if she finds out I play with C.
@yapdog
I've been devving with C for over 30 years. Every language that's come after is just a fix for those who don't know how to use C well
@joyrc01
One line: wherever you have interact with hardware and electronics C is the way to go... No other languages matches that.
@SakthiBliss
I'm using C language since 1999. Atmost 26 years and still. Currently I code in oracle database kernel which is built mostly in C.
@geriatricprogrammer4364
As a teenager used turbo c. I still think c is the best thing since sliced bread. Case in point. Watch the screen as python interpreter boots up, it's c under the hood.

the she joke at the end haha
@Brynjar1
It is amazing how wonderful a tool C is, but the most important aspect of being able to use it effectively is having a high proficiency in algorithms and computer science. Most people focus solely on which language they are going to use and forget about this fundamental aspect.
@forhadrh
Some professor said, you'll die but C will live.
@freeman37
C is the best language!
@Gapçık
The sole reason of C++ preferred over C especially for games is being object oriented language. C is the actual goat under the umbrella of big daddy assembly.
@zardozjones
It's really simple - it's close to the metal and there's 53 years worth of C code out there!
@RamonChiNangWong078
and they call me crazy when I said. "I'm building a custom engine for myself in C"
@renanmonteirobarbosa8129
Assembly and C will never cease to exist
@SunHail8
C the almost ideal: it's high-level/portable Asm & it's been only reason why operating systems are possible.. yea, it's possible to write OSes on pure Asm, but that takes damn hella much more Time to write & debug :) PS. unsafety isn't because of C, it's "thanks" to inherently unsafe modern hw. ;D

NASA Senior Staff: What are we going to do? This may be the end of this project NASA Intern: Have you tried rebooting it? NASA Senior Staff: ... NASA Intern: Oh, it actually worked
@camgere
0:20 "Direct access to hardware components". Most hardware is controlled by memory mapped I/O (input/output). C is very good at sending a byte or word to a memory location. One difficulty. The memory mapped I/O location cannot be cached. So, you have to be able to define a non-cached area of memory (some processors can, some can't) or turn caching off. I used to work for a company that had a C compiler written in C. You could compile the new compiler and then re-compiler it in itself. That always struck me as unnatural.
@Lensflare-85
This video doesn't explain WHY we still use C in 2024. It only shows that C is everywhere and that C can do anything (no shit?).
