Good question, I wrote about my own reasons for moving back to C from C++ a while ago:

...and "modern C" is often misunderstood by C++ people who only know the fork of C known as the "common C/C++ subset" (which is basically an outdated, non-standard dialect of C that's stuck in the mid-90s):

However, I'm hoping to eventually abandon C in favour of Zig within the next 10 years or so :)
