- Computer languages rarely completely die out. And... the superior
- languages/technologies don't wipe out the inferior ones. Unfortunately,
- that is the way it is. I have worked with many mediocre programmers who
- have no interest to move to a new and better language or paradigm. I
- think the folks who have willingly moved to C++ from C AND have actually
- changed their mindset to embrace object-oriented technology are in the
- minority. That is fine with me, because it makes it even easier for the
- good programmers to find good jobs.
