Mom, I need a flowchart.
Sorry honey, we're all out, but I think there's a btree in the pantry.

When you're working at a real systems level c is so much easier to get up and running with. These are hard problems and getting something just to a working stage can be a real challenge. C is also really simple in comparison to those mentioned, and there are a lot of people that enjoy working with c/asm.
Zig is not stable and will not be for sometime. It has a few quirks that bother me, but I look forward to using it more seriously once they release 1.0.
Rust is a different style of programming, that's not a bad thing, but you can't fault someone for not liking it. I think it's great that a lot of people really like rust, that's awesome, but it's not perfect. It doesn't help that there's a lot of condescension towards other languages coming from rust zealots.
Go's GC makes it a non starter in certain domains.
C 'package management' isn't that difficult once you understand the tooling, and there's a lot of freedom that you come to appreciate when you're writing a driver, bootloader, porting to a custom/exotic os, etc. clangd works fantastically so it's not lacking lsp goodies.
Real systems programming is a much smaller field than other disciplines so it does not surprise me that programmers as a whole don't understand what makes c great.
$ sudo kill -9 1
fuck you
$ echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger

I was using emacs then, I'm using emacs now, and I'll be using emacs in another 30 years.
it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever.

Please fix the fucking lights while you're at it.
That's essentially what I told my wife last night. If you're undecided and watched the debate and still are undecided, just admit you're a Trump voter.
Seems you don't even trust what your wife has to say, not sure why you'd 'source' her and expect everyone else to.
Nice
