I bought a C compiler at my job in 1984 because I thought it was the future, then spent nearly a decade writing MacOS apps in C. I even added object extensions to it (for our use) in 1989 because C++ was not an option yet.
I worked with Objective-C in the late 90s and again in the 2010s, which is basically C with funky object stuff.
I don't miss it at all. C is very low level and so easy to write bad code in if you don't have solid discipline, the language doesn't help at all, which was not really a design decision back then. The first C compiler we used didn't even support prototypes.
I exclusively use Swift now.
