This is sort of like pointing out the obvious, but that's just a change in the market, and has comparatively little to do with the languages themselves. There's no reason C programmers can't easily transition into web development. The inverse, assuming that the market for C development will remain static is just illogical (likewise for the current in-demand languages). Developers are developers IMHO. Languages are tools. What tool a developer uses is incidental and inevitably subject to change.
