What is C essential for anymore these days? Genuine question btw.
I thought C++ was essential for microprocessor control, but that it depends and sometimes I gather people use C instead, but not always.
Use the language that the company hires you to know:-).
I do embedded. Its all C. You can't replace it.
Zig?
Wait, that's like C with ~~extra~~ fewer steps
And I think they rewrote a bunch of C libraries in order to have a better cross-platform compiler for C and zig. Or something along those lines
Or Nim?
Inertia is a mofo. I did embedded programming for industrial automation almost thirty years ago, building upon and expanding an existing nightmare of C code... and I bet there's still some of mine running something out there to this day.
