There are plenty of software jobs out there that require writing new components in C; I'm not sure that the same is true for COBOL. Sure, there's a ton of legacy C code, but there's also a great deal of new C code being developed, which makes it hard for me to see C as being "dead."
- stcredzero 17y agoNote that I never say C is "dead." I say that the record shows: good languages that are actually used don't go away.
- angelbob 17y agoC's not dead, but I agree with the article's author: its use will slowly erode, but never get to zero. It'll bottom out at a fairly steady, low rate, rather like COBOL.
