If you're doing anything in embedded systems/hardware, expect to be using C. Yes, Embedded Rust and MicroPython are a thing now, but if I need to work with any partner or customer I'll be in a world of pain, because 99% of that industry uses C. My customers start new projects in C every other week. If you need to be Processor independent, Portable, Performant, have access to Bit manipulation, and need direct control the Memory management, along with a massive ecosystem, C is almost the only option.
