I've used C++20 on embedded devices and the generated code was simpler than the C version. Why do you still use C?
I want to learn rust and got the recommendation to learn C first.
C is useless nowadays (and has been for at least 20 years). Either learn Rust or C++.
it is good to learn C, even if you're never gonna touch it again. It teaches you what other languages abstract away.
