    "description": "C is a procedural, compiled, low-level programming language that has\nbeen the lingua franca of systems programming since the 1970s. It\nprovides direct memory access through pointers, manual memory management\n(malloc/free), and minimal runtime overhead, making it ideal for\noperating systems, compilers, and embedded firmware.\n\nThe C standard library is available on virtually every platform.\nModern C (C11, C17, C23) adds thread support, atomics, generics via\n_Generic, and improved Unicode handling. C is ABI-compatible with most\nlanguages' FFI, making it the universal interop substrate. GCC and\nClang are the dominant compilers; Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, and\nUBSan are common correctness tools.\n"
