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:-).

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
