- The C language is a middle-level language as it combines the elements of high-level languages (structures, unions, enums, functions, conditionals) with the functionalism of assembly language.
- **It's possible to simulate OOP in C and write an operating system. C allows the manipulation of nearly everything** giving the programmer more control over exactly how the program will behave and more direct access to the mechanics of the underlying hardware, **while keeping application fully portable**. C is often quoted as cross-platform assembly.
- **C is still one of the most popular programming languages out there [at the time of writing it was 2nd language overall](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/). Overall, C was first most common language from 1988 to 2013! It's Popularity is still growing. In the year of writing, C had the highest rise in ratings in a year.**
- C is everywhere. Your keyboard is very propably powered by C, same as your fridge or even modem. **Microsoft Windows was developed in C and has nearly 90% market share. Same as Linux, MacOS, iOS, Android and Windows Phone.** The world’s most popular databases, including **Oracle Database, MySQL, MS SQL Server, and PostgreSQL are developed in C**. 3D movies are created with applications that are generally written in C and C++. The alarm clock that wakes you up is likely programmed in C. Then you use your microwave or coffee maker to make your breakfast. They are also embedded systems and therefore are probably programmed in C. You turn on your TV or radio while you eat your breakfast. Those are also embedded systems, powered by C. When you open your garage door with the remote control you are also using an embedded system that is most likely programmed in C. You park your car, go to the shop and use vending machine to get a soda. What language did they use to program this vending machine? Probably C. Then you buy something at the store. The cash register is also programmed in C. And when you pay with your credit card? The credit card reader is, again, likely programmed in C.

- **There are many programming languages, today, that allow developers to be more productive than with C for different kinds of projects. There are higher level languages that provide much larger built-in libraries that simplify working with JSON, XML, UI, web pages, client requests, database connections, media manipulation, and so on. But despite that, there are plenty of reasons to believe that C programming will remain active for a long time.** In programming languages one size does not fit all.
- Here are some reasons that C is unbeatable, and almost mandatory, for certain applications:
* **Arbitrary memory address access and pointer arithmetic is an important feature that makes C a perfect fit for system programming (operating systems and embedded systems).**
