- The C language is small and relatively easy to learn.
- C compilers can produce highly efficient code.
- C compilers and cross-compilers are widely available for a large array of hardware targets, from tiny eight-bit microcontrollers to giant mainframes. The availability of compilers enables highly portable source code to be written, when appropriate disciplines are followed.
- C, although it is a high-level language, provides access to some fundamental low-level concepts such as memory addresses and dynamic memory management - concepts that are hidden by many other languages.
- C has been used to implement (in whole or in part) several major operating systems and kernels, including Unix, Linux, and Windows.
