Not any more than there was a C/C++ war. C++ is for people that aren't scared of features and want their code to be reliable. C is for people that really value simplicity and don't care about the odd segfault or catastrophic security vulnerability (in some situations that is reasonable).

It's basically the same with Rust vs Zig.

Wow, so much ignorance in one comment. So C people choose an unreliable language and don’t care about catastrophic security vulnerabilities! All that when most safery-critical and realtime software is written in C. In addition to whatever OS you’re currently using!
