There are many awesome programs written in C, Quake for example, we have already mentioned Emacs and Linux but huge parts of the Unix tool chain is in C.

It is thanks to Emacs not the least that it survives and attracts new programmers at all. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
