When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn`t developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
The visible things that have come from the group have been the Plan 9 system and Inferno, but I hasten to say that the ideas and the work have come from colleagues.
The kind of programming that C provides will probably remain similar absolutely or slowly decline in usage, but relatively, JavaScript or its variants, or XML, will continue to become more central.
