C was once one of the most popular computer programming languages, but it has now largely fallen out of favor. C++ and C# have largely replaced it for most purposes. Where it is still useful is as "portable assembly code". If you create a new language that outputs C rather than assembly code, you can more easily port your language to many platforms, including embedded chips. Occasionally, very low level operating system and hardware code is still written in C. For example, C++ was first written using this method in a program called cfront.
