I like using C. It is simple, elegant, has very fast compilation times, requires no FFI needed for many libraries, is extremely stable and extremely portable, a large ecosystem, and, most importantly, I do not think the ergonomics of C are bad.

It is inconvenient to start using it as it comes with basically nothing out of the box, but this is irrelevant after a short time using it.
