a tweet from FFmpeg: If we don't keep raising awareness of low-level programming skills, the skillset will disppear forever under a sea of SDKs, binary blobs and proprietary chips. C programming matters, assembly language matters. Yes, we post a lot about programming languages and it gets people very excited and opinionated. But we do this to raise awareness that there is still a place for low-level code outside of Operating System development. FFmpeg still needs low-level optimisations to be fast
