No, c language is not waste of time. Start learning a language and stop asking questions about every single one 😂😅 If it were useless, it won't be here. Also, proper English is appreciated! 😊

Nowadays C is still widely used for: * Operating Systems programming. All modern operating systems are written in C and it's derivatives (Windows also uses C++ and macOS also uses Objective-C/Swift). Linux, the most popular operating system kernel is written completely in C (and a little bit of assembly). * Embedded systems. If you want to program an ATM, a fridge, a microwave etc., C is the only language fast enough to handle it. Sometimes C++ is also used, although most C++ features aren't (because they're slow), so you're still mostly writing C-style code. * UNIX. If you want to get into UNIX programming, you absolutely have to know C. It is still the most widely used language for systems like IMB AIX, Oracle Solaris etc. * Many other places. The Java Virtual Machine is written in C. Oracle's Database and IMB's DB2 are written in both C and C++.
