Hi! I just started C programming and as always, I get a question in my head that "What if programmers in the future won't use C?". I've learned python, or at least the basics I guess. So, can somebody answer my question:is learning C in 2022(almost 2023) is still worth it?

No one can predict the future.

That being said, C is still highly used in low-level programming environments (e.g. embedded systems, automation, etc).

C is also a base of C++ so as long as C++ will live, probably C will too.

C is a mid-level programming language and its clear fundamental knowledge of programming, After studying c it will be easy to move to high-level programming languages like C++ and Java so in my point of view learning c in 2023 is still worth it.

c is more helpful for beginners. We can understand the basics and get a programming logic .So its better to learn c as it will worth making us understanding other languages more simply.

C is the mother of all programming languages. When we learn C especially as our first programming language , it clears a lot of basics and builds  a strong foundation for other programming languages. So , I would suggest learn it , it is no harm.

C language is beginner language who interest to learn any language then the C language is good for it. According to this vision for beginner then C language has a scope for learner.
