Are there many C developers here?
very likely. what is the objective of your question?
As a hobby more C and embedded C then C++, but yeah! Clojure day job.
While it’s not sexy, I suspect there’s still a whole lot of silicon being melted using C, C++ and whatever Fortran is called now. Lots of simulations are accessible now and much of the calculation logic can be parallelized.
Remember, if you manage to get a drug to market 3 months earlier, you can make billions. And if you get a hit on something like Alzheimer’s, you’ll need 64-bit to count that high. Ozempic distorted the Danish economy and it’s passed by follow-ons.
C++ mostly, but parts of the codebase are in C, and I have to dip into it now and then. I'm certainly more comfortable in C than in webdev or Rust (although I wouldn't mind picking up some Rust).
There is a surprising depth of knowledge on a lot of subjects on HN, C included.
