Yes, C is outdated

Sez WHO?

There’s a LISP involved somewhere in that story.

If you know C, you can probably learn C++ or C# pretty easily.

YEah, sez who? Programming in it daily. Embedded Linux and hardcore software-defined radio.

I think I’m the only one that’s done Ada.

I learned Basic, Fortran, Cobol and Assembly in college and maybe Pascal.

When I started working in the mid 80s it was in Fortran, and then moved to Ada and C. The defence department was pushing Ada, but industry was pushing C. I think we know who won that battle.

Then went to C++ and Objective C in the 90s.

I haven’t worked in over 20 years. Wish I could get back into it.
