Ah yes. A language forced onto unwilling participants by people who still think it should relevant in the modern age. And the other one is a Celtic language.

Unfortunately, it's the only sane cross-language ABI option there is.

C++ is a close second, which is mostly because C++ uses the C ABI wherever it can.

Even if the language itself is obsolete, it will live on for many more years just because of that.
