What are some serious C programs?

Question

C++ / C#

Good time of the day.
I'm finishing a basic C course at university and wondered:
How serious programs were written in C? And what of this you can try to figure out to improve your own skills. I would like to know the real possibilities of this language.

Answer 1

It's easier to tell which programs are not written in C. And almost everything is written in C

1. Operating Systems
2. Database management systems
3. Compilers and interpreters
4. Drivers
5. Microcontrollers

Answer 2

Linux kernel

Answer 3

veZuk: Many elements of C are potentially dangerous, and the consequences of misusing these elements are often unpredictable. Kernighan says, "C is a razor-sharp tool that can create both an elegant program and a bloody mess."
SARS: Quake is an example of this ))

#393788

Answer 4

All, believe me, all C fits into ~292 pages of Kernighan-Ritchie. Considering that in C there is nothing but arrays, pointers and structures, then almost all C code looks something like this: https://github.com/jonof/jfbuild/blob/master/kenbu...
Considering that now almost everything can be solved in Java and Python, then such a fierce hardcore is written in C that you won’t even understand what’s what. Take a look at the Linux kernel.

Answer 5

https://www.kernel.org/ (well, freebsd, openbsd, etc.)
httpd.apache.org
www.openssl.org
www.whatcanidoformozilla.org/#!/progornoprog/proglang/c
a lot of things.
