Now, I agree that you can use OOP in C to some extent, but it's sort of painful and inelegant (well at least compared to C++ I guess). So, what makes C so popular? Is it efficiency; being low-level; the vast majority of libraries that already exist or something else?

Pankaj, C language is very close to the Operating system. For that matter, Most of the operating system code is written in 'C' language, it means all the software that interacts with hardware in the underlying layer is written in 'C'. Still what i told is just a nutshell about 'C'.

Initially, C was designed to implement the Unix operating system. Most of the Unix kernel, and all of its supporting tools and libraries, were written in C. Later other folks found it useful for their programs without any hindrance, and they began using it. Another strong reason of using C programming language is that it sits close to operating system. This feature makes it an efficient language because system level resources, such as memory, can be accessed easily. read less
