I disagree. The early adopters are usually exceptional. When adoption grows the average level decreases. This is a well known phenomenon which is larger than just programmers. It was even on HN recently, as applied to IQs in high schools over time: as more kids reach high school, the average decreases. So yes. C programmers were better.
