I think C has kind of hit equalibrium, in that it's not often used for things outside its "niche", but with no other language threatening it within its niche.

- NAFV_P 13y agoIs forth considered to be in the same niche?
- pavlov 13y agoNot really. Forth is nowadays only used for tiny embedded systems. In contrast, C is the glue language for pretty much everything. Even the latest operating systems like iOS and WinRT use C as the base level API language that is callable from anywhere. They do have significant libraries and conventions to manage that (Apple uses CoreFoundation, Microsoft uses COM), but it's still C.
