C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Hey, so I've been searching the web for a while for some popular applications that use C. All that I can find so far is, Git, Vim, Linux, and Unix. I also know the Windows kernel uses it a little bit, but that's it. Does anyone know some popular apps that use C? Doesn't have to be programming related, just an actual app that's written in C? Sorry if this question sounds redundant or anything.

Lua was built with C, and exposes some of C's standard libraries in its scripting.
