Hmm, I'm very skeptical of this premise. Basically every halfway decent CS program has a systems level class in C. While bootcamps usually don't teach C, they're not necessarily dismissing C as much as ignoring the entirety of systems programming.

I don't want to be overly harsh on the writing, as English does not appear to be the author's first language (you should see my Chinese). However, here's some pointers (heh)

Especially with Go and Rust go viral right now => Especially with Go and Rust having gone viral

No matter you never touched C or you are a veteran => Whether you are a C novice or a C veteran ^[1]

and not as primitive => and is not as primitive

Regardless of you a system language programmer => Regardless if you are a systems language programmer

In general, I'd recommend using "you" a little less frequently and working in more. I.e. "I highly recommend you read Modern C if you haven’t read it before" could become "I'd highly recommend Modern C to those who have not read it already".

But again, wonderful job all things considered. Please continue to write blog posts.

[1] I tried to rewrite this in the spirit of the original, but the double negative of "No matter...never" was too awkward to keep. Also feel free to remove the C's

Thanks very much for your time to point out my English mistakes! I have already modified them.
