Not to do the c vs c++ thing, I too prefer c. For over 20 years actually I have preferred c to c++; all the while learning and enjoying other languages like rust. c still is missing some crucial stuff in my opinion-- there are times where I wish generics existed, and when you tie that to a trait system like in rust it's really a pity to not have something like that in c. Couple that with really great package managers for libraries in other languages, and a coherent way to use the libraries, makes one long for more when working in c; it's really missing great and easy code sharing that so many other languages have at their front and center.
