Nonsense. C is still being used today simply because it is deeply 
rooted in everything. All major operating systems today are still 
largely done in C. Not to mention the libc being used by 
literally every piece of modern software... Pick your 20 
favourite pieces of opensource software that you use every day, 
that are older than 5-6 years. - It is most likely that 18 of 
them are entirely done in C.

Example: nginx - think how many websites are running on top of 
it. Similar story is Apache web server...
