On the history and justification of the C programming language
The best things always have detractors, yet they live on.<p>C is over 40 years old and is still in widespread use today, even though there have been (supposedly) better languages targeting the same use cases for decades now. There is more to it than just inertia.<p>I&#x27;ve been using it less and less over the years, mostly because I&#x27;ve also been tackling less  and less problems in the domains where it excels. It is still my favorite language though.
