Usage of C in new projects has fallen dramatically in the latest decades. It used to be the case that C was considered a general purpose programming language and applications such as Evolution were written in it. Today big applications in C are increasingly rare, and Rust is only accelerating this trend - nobody wants to have buffer overflows anymore.
