My question is will C still be a popular language then? It seems to me that languages like C++, C# and Java are sort of muscling their way in and throwing out Big Daddy C. Is that the correct impression on what is going on?
I feel that since C++ is such a huge language, lots of people are turning away from C and using it instead ( after all, C++ has a C subset so why would they use C when they could get C and then some using C++? ). Sorry if you get asked this kind of question all the time, I'm just wondering if C will still be popular when I'm finished University and if you think there will be jobs programming in C?
