> I have absolutely no doubts that the most used language is JavaScript - considering nearly every website in existence relies on it.

You should have doubts because every website you look at is on a device that most likely has tons of parts written in C.

Pretty much any piece of hardware you run your browser on, irrespective of whether you're looking at a website that has javascript code or not, has some C code running to support your javascript VM, browser, and operating system.

Whether you're on a computer, cell phone, gaming console, IoT device, you name it... you're most likely executing some C code quite frequently. And that's whether you're using a browser or not.

C is still the go-to language (no pun intended) for pretty much all drivers (with certain parts in assembly as needed) of any piece of hardware.

Right, but even that comes down to what measure of popularity you're using.

E.g., how many people are writing C, vs how many people are using things written in C.

Absolutely. That's why I reacted to the "most used" criterion.
