alt Hacker NewsI'm an industrial equipment programmer, so I do see C quite often. Actually, aside from C, it's just that when I first learned programming in college, I started with C. I thought that was only natural, but I guess I didn't explain enough. Inside my own head, C just feels like a given.
In that case, definitely learn Rust, it will expand your thinking about programming and be useful. Zig would just be too similar to C.
