Yeah, C is a good language. I enjoy programming in it, and find it more comfortable than alternatives like Go or Rust. C just lets me have fun and write low-level code in the way I want to.
The parts of the C community I've interacted with also don't have this weird sense of moral superiority. Programming language features are tools, not social justice causes. If you find one helpful, use it—but don't pretend that you're an inherently better person because of it. You're not; you're just an insufferable asshole.
