Though maybe don't start any new projects in C.

For me, C is the Latin of programming languages. Once you get C the world opens up and learning a new programming language is easy.

For sure, learn from it, but it's nearly impossible to keep secure. Start new projects in a safe language.

Why is that? C remains an immensely popular language (especially as you get closer to the metal). I also don't see Linux being rewritten in something else anytime soon.

Only for new projects. At this point there's no reason to repeat the mistakes of the past.
