Where is the C language used now? Are new projects being created in C?

Question

Programming languages

When is it justified to use C instead of C++?

Answer 1

1. High code portability is required, for example - SQLite.
2. High performance
3. Where C++ is not fully supported - for example, exceptions are not supported.

Answer 2

Here you can add cases when a library is being written that is planned for widespread use. For example from D, Go and similar languages. Then only pure C.

Answer 3

Widely used for programming microcontrollers (AVR, PIC, MSP430, STM32 and many others). RTOS for microcontrollers (FreeRTOS, embOS, uOS-II, etc.) are also written on it.
Many household appliances around you are controlled by microcontrollers programmed in C.
