In the modern high level languages, the machine level details are hidden from the user, so in order to work with CPU cache, memory, network adapters, learning C programming is a must.
Despite the prevalence of higher-level languages, the C programming language continues to empower the world. There are plenty of reasons to believe that C programming will remain active for a long time. Here are some reasons that C is unbeatable, and almost mandatory, for certain applications.
It is hard to learn because: It has complex syntax to support versatility. It is a permissive language—you can do everything that's technically possible, even if not logically right. It is best learned by someone who already has a foundation with C programming.
C is more difficult to learn than JavaScript, but it's a valuable skill to have because most programming languages are actually implemented in C. This is because C is a “machine-level” language. So learning it will teach you how a computer works and will actually make learning new languages in the future easier.
Using raw pointers and resources instead of RAII objects.
Declaring all the variables at the top of a function instead of as close as possible to where they are used.
Not using the STL, especially std::string,
and/or
using std::strings and reverting to old c string functions in tight corners.
