Its often worked out well to write the 10% most CPU bound parts of large Java or PHP applications in C. C defiantly has its place. I wonder if this gentlemen has tried Go? If he is a big C fan, Go might be a great choice for the other 90%. Not only is Go a safer version of C with lots of great modern features, it integrates very well with C via cGo. If memory usage and speed are your preeminent concerns, C is certainly a force to be reckoned with: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/which-programs-are-best.php?calc=chart&gcc=on&gpp=on&ghc=on&go=on&sbcl=on&java=on&csharp=on&scala=on&fsharp=on&hipe=on&php=on&erlang=on&python3=on&yarv=on&perl=on&xfullcpu=1&xmem=1&xloc=0&nbody=1&fannkuchredux=1&meteor=1&fasta=1&fastaredux=1&spectralnorm=1&revcomp=1&mandelbrot=1&knucleotide=1&regexdna=1&pidigits=1&chameneosredux=1&threadring=1&binarytreesredux=1&binarytrees=1 http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/which-programs-...
