- My opinion is that C will be around for many years. I would guess
- there will still be substantial C development work (and maintenance)
- going on well after the year 2010.

- C is a good compromise between providing direct access to a processor
- and providing high level constructs that allow rapid development.
- There are much better high level languages available today for rapid
- development, but there is not a much better, widely known, portable,
- language that is a good match for how hardware works today. Until the
- essential paradigm of how processors function changes, C will be
- widely used.
