WHY C ?
Most of the software tool(Adobe Systems, MySql etc.) as well as the C compiler is written in C.Major parts of popular operating systems like Windows, UNIX, Linux is still written in C.Device driver programs are also written in C, because if we talk about performance (speed of execution) nothing beats C.
