The Curious Case of the Longevity of C
I'm quite bored by the obsession of some for replacing C.Yes, it does exactly what you tell it to do and that's dangerous. It was a high level language 25 years ago, but today the metaphor should be assembly.  Nobody would criticize assembly for letting you shoot yourself in the foot, C is much the same.The biggest threat to the tech sector is Linus dying and being replaced by some charlatan who insists on replacing C and using Jira.
