I don't know about that - very little software is written in C these days. Even parts of the Windows and Mac kernels are written in at least C++ and Microsoft had an entire OS written in C# internally. Meanwhile the games industry has been C++ since forever (which still isn't great but better than C) and most business and web software is written in GCd languages. BTW the kernel is full of reference counts.
