Sometimes you just don't have other options than C.
Like kernel drivers, embedded (microcontroller) development.
Or perhaps you just need to develop a small loadable library without any runtime (no malloc, etc.). Or perhaps writing Python, Lua etc. C-module for better performance.
You just need to treat C with proper respect, not be too arrogant about your skills.
I hope over time we can move more and more to Rust or some other language which gives as many errors at compile time as possible and helps with not shooting at our feet.
Shouldn't have too many C-macros, of course. Some macro messes I've seen can be nearly impossible to debug...
