I actually enjoy programming in C. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like to though. Almost all the work I do these days has some other language that makes more practical sense to use: JavaScript, Golang, Rust, etc. But coming from an ECE background I enjoy the low level nature of C.

The problem is not the people who are proficient and enjoy the language. The problem is the people of the other kind who get told to do it for a living. I know the top level asbestos analogy (not mine) got shot down but let me try another. The problem is that we send both a trucker and cyclist to the freeway without any kind of protections for or against cyclist.
