Yes C has it flaws, but it's an older and popular language even 
these days. In 90's it was a king among developers and even today 
there are project being written with it. It's hard to compare 
with more flexible language today, so it's look like brittle, but 
at the same time is less complex than newer languages. Coming 
from C, sometimes I get lost reading new languages code and 
people making simple things more complex.
