does this have implications on the place of c in the programming world? I am seeing this trend in HPC and systems programming to move into more structured languages. even FORTRAN has objects now. gives me some doubts if I should put my time into learning c or not. a lot of the tech I care about uses c++ (i want to work in ANNs) and true the kernels are basically in c but the code is c++.
