C is the hardware language N°1 of the high-level languages. If you actually want to know and control what happens in the machine, you write in C. Rust, C++ and all the other abstractions are for people who do not understand how computers and computer memory work.
I’ve written programs in C. I’ve written programs in assembly, for x86 and for microcontrollers. I’ve designed digital logic and programmed it into an FPGA. I’ve built digital logic circuits with transistors.
I’ll still take Go over C any day of the week. If I’m doing embedded, I’ll use TinyGo.
This is a misconception that’s common among beginner C programmers. They think C is high level assembly and don’t understand the kinds of optimisations modern compilers make. And they think they’re hardcore and don’t make mistakes.

Try Rust
Not everyone is on the Rust bandwagon
CPUs are for people who don’t know how to melt their own sand into transistors.
Sand is for people who don’t know how to create their own silicon from hydrogen and a neutron emitter.

Hope you figure it out eventually.
I wrote loads of firmware in c++ and some on highly constrained boards. You’re just stuck in the past and spewing bs
