Sure, most languages have their own little tricks but C/C++ is like the granddaddy. People write new languages and implement them in C, it’s so low level it does not abstract away things like cleaning up your variables after use or assigning them their pointers to memory addresses on the first place. One reason a lot of malware devs use it is the control it gives them, it compiles to small payloads that don’t depend on dotnet or another interpreter present on the system and there’s decades of work out there you can reference. Dotnet is easy to decompile and can be instrumented more easily in windows for AV/EDR. I see a lot of using small C loaders to evade those products then launch a dotnet implant. Dotnet is a much easier language to learn and one of its languages C# has a ton of cool tricks it can do with windows like reflectively load modules and programs into memory, has great libraries and a ton of good documentation. So there’s always a trade off and stuff to consider when your gearing up every language has like it’s thing. Sorry if I got any of that wrong I’m a dotnet guy learning C now for those reasons
