The impracticality of c & projects - Programming On Unix

Hey gang,

I've been playing around with c, beginning stages of course. I've been having a great time making various little text games and conversion programs.

I have two questions for the senior devs out there.

First: I've been Reading a lot and people keep saying c is impractical for modern projects. Useful only on embedded systems or for kernels. Is this because its a low level language or its lack of objects or are they wrong?

Second: I was considering playing around with swm, I was going to fork and play with wmutils but poor z3bra and dcat might die of shame if they saw the damage my novice code would do on those beautiful tools.

My question is, are there any other little projects you've come across on github that would be worth checking out?

And because I don't like to ask without giving a little here are some projects I dug up that you all might find interesting:

https://github.com/gorel/C-Poker-AI
Texas hold em, written in c

https://github.com/gkbrk/SirLogsalot
Irc bot to record conversations

https://github.com/ErikStaats/adventure
Text adventure written in c

Just some things to think about.

Also inb4 venam closes this ;)
