Psy fuk :
C is still popular because C++ exists

emosaker :
C good for embedded programming or hobbyist projects. You can't argue that C++ compile times are too slow when they are almost equal to C unless you use C++ features. Even then, most C++ features don't affect the compile times to a massive extent unless you start writing really complex macros or massive headers. Most serious projects nowadays are written in C++ (or Rust, etc) and the current large C projects are ancient (from before C++ was a viable option), because C isn't good for large scale projects with teams of people working on them.

I am programming C/C++ since 1999 and 8 hours daily tell this day. I agree with you , but not in all cases and it depends what you need to build. C++ is not complicated, just use the basic staff in C++ and you are good to go. All depends on what you need to build not depend on C or C++. The C++ have great features and make code much less and more controlled. Just use the basic staff in C++.

C is popular because as a programmer you don't feel guilty for avoiding using objects and OO

I dont think this is correct. C++ rust and zig can also give you access to performance even more than c (and technically only ASM really gives you MAXIMUM access to performance). The reason C is popular is because it simply can do stuff other languages cannot. for example you need C to program 99% of microcontrollers.

The thing that I love about C most (while you’re learning) is that it gives you so much power you can make it object oriented with ease using structs and pointers to functions etc.

I didn't realise C was popular outside of embedded systems, Linux and GNU stuff
