Discussions on the internet often were dramatic. There are certainly also many "C supremacists", but I don't generally see C people coming to C++ or Rust projects and insisting that it should be rewritten in C because "C is better". I believe C is a better language myself and definitely much better than how it is currently perceived, but I do not mind if other people have a different opinion and do projects using other languages. While the mindset of many C++ and Rust proponents seems to be that "C has to die", so is inherently much more hostile. This makes it then sometimes difficult to ignore this completely.
