If it weren't for the tyranny of C, that doesn't mean we'd instead be using whatever you want - maybe today we'd all have to be using Pascal, or some other worse-is-better tool. Better result with concurrency? Probably not. Anyway, popularity isn't the same thing as tyranny, there isn't some conspiracy to keep other languages down
