C is still a popular choice for projects where speed and small program size are important considerations, such as embedded firmware. A significant portion of the [[Linux]] [[kernel]] was written in C. The syntax of C inspired many later languages such as C++, [[Java]] and [[C Sharp]].  Many C compilers also support low-level programming via integrated inline assemblers.
