C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Support for Rust in Linux is gaining a lot of traction. Memory safety without performance hits is massive for kernel development.

Google and Microsoft are massively invested in Linux and some of its biggest contributors due to the cloud.

Windows and android are also written in memory unsafe languages so I don't see how this would help them.
