Why does TIOBE think C is declining? “Some months ago we already listed some possible reasons: it is not a language that you think of while writing programs for popular fields such as mobile apps or websites, it is not evolving that much and there is no big company promoting the language,” its note added.
That is rubbish. C didn't sink, it is these mass imported low wage 3rd world developers that had a 3 month course in some Web/Python and is now flooding the market ending in the worst possible designs and coded ever recorded in the history of mankind.
C is very well alive in development projects that requires an IQ level above 100.
There is a massive extinction coming soon when all these hype projects fail and only people that have the capacity of understanding C will be hired. yes the people that develop robots.
It's declining because it's major use of is being replaced with Go. Anything you can that uses C could also be used with Go. I personally have not used Go because of how it forces me to not use my precious Allman indent, but if it was not for Go's garbage collector it could also be used for OS development as well.
