I mean. Like the basis of literally everything that exists in any meaningful computer science programming today. So yes.

For one, Unix is written in C. Originally written in assembly, the Unix kernel was rewritten in C back in 1973.
And there's why. It functions as a meaningful and understandable medium between assembly and human. Humans can and as evidenced: could, program in assembly. But it's not good code. Like ever.
Most of them (DB management systems) have since been rewritten in C++, but that’s also a direct descendant of C.

I actually enjoyed using assembly in my engineering classes. Once you get the hang of it it's fairy straightforward.
