Owing to a pervasive lack of awareness within student communities and academic institutions, an unfortunately common misconception has taken root, suggesting that C and C++ programming languages are antiquated relics within the contemporary landscape of software development. Learning C and C++ remains relevant, and it's quite likely that their relevance persists in 2024. Here are some reasons why C and C++ continue to be valuable languages in the programming landscape:
Recommended by LinkedIn

If you want to be a software Engineer in any tech stack c/c++ gives you a clear picture about the memory management ,pointer ,stack heap up to granular level.One small note for Python fans :Numpy arrays underline implementation is using c/c++ 🫡😂For web developer /Js fans:Chromium V8 Engine is also written in c/c++

I am pure C dev, (not even C++) and is going good. C is one that language that most newbies are most dis-illusioned with. They think it is the language which just serve the purpose to build the foundation to learn "real" languages. Embedded system, Operatins sys dev, Device driver, compiler dev, Networking technologies dev - are developed in pure C language and there are so many companies looking for C / System dev. But these days, FAANG is over-hyped and has shadowed the ground reality among new freshers.
