I see a lot of salt in the comments below on the C language. Like, "how do you scan a string", "it is unteachable to junior devs", "not because you are used to it, it does not mean it is any good", etc.

Well, the same old critiscisms again and again. You can do shit in any language if you don't understand what you do. For instance, Duck typing in Python or Javascript can lead to huge mistakes at runtime, code injection and unchecked values in java can lead to severe runtime crashes, etc.

So yeah basically you want good code quality (knowing what you do) and good unit testing in any language.

C has proved totally workable on many occasions. I guess a lot of the comments on this thread where written from a Linux Kernel :)

Or a Windows Kernel which is also (mostly) C.
