I'm using C89 and C99 very often, mostly for embedded system. Since you're a web developer, you're used to garbage collected languages. C is very bare-bone in comparison and you have to take care of details you never had to with your stack. So I think you should rather go for a language like Go, which is still pretty bare-bone compared to e.g. TypeScript with the usual tools and libraries, but still more familiar to what you are used to.
