I'd say there are roughly three classes of C compatibility: Tier 1 is C++ and ObjC, where you can use C headers nearly directly. Tier 2 is where you have to create (and maintain) bindings, but you can map practically everything. Here i

Depends on what you base the percentage on. If it is the global population, then 5% of 7 billion is 350 million. So to be in the top 5% there must be at most 350 million people better than you. Now consider a niche sport, say Ultimate Frisb
