C is for bare-metal interface layers, like OS kernel and drivers. For everything else, better languages exist :) But C is following the Fortran's path: it's *the* portable language of today %) Though, things like java, perl, python and such are quickly closing the gap. <a href="http://livejournal.com/users/9000" rel="nofollow">(http://livejournal.com/users/9000)</a> Agreed, agreed!
