I am a beginner level programmer and C is not one of the languages for which I have even bothers to write a "hello world" for. That is my level.
As the people that "runs" C, why do we need C? Forget the legacy systems. With fancy languages like Go, Rust, Elixir, Python and the millions others. Of course, the "offsprings" like C++ & C#.
What was the use case that C was designed for (I have read from sources like Wikipedia, would love to hear straight from source)?
In 2020, how relevant is C? If someone is going to write a system/application today, why consider C?
Do you think, C will be relevant in 5 yrs (I know 1 yr in computing is like 10 yrs for humans)?
With all your combined experience in computing over the years and as the members of a team that is guiding a valuable thing like "C". What is your advice/wisdom/thought for us?
