How many people code in C these days, and if so, why?

Of course they do... :-DD

IMHO, religious computer language discussions are a complete waste of time -
better spent to solve a real world problem.

For that we would need a vomit emoticon. I had the misfortune to inherit a larger project once. What a mess. Pascal with C-isms bolted on. I have used Borland Pascal for a while an dabbled in Delphi as well but quickly found out that Pascal is not really suitable for any real programming work where you need to restructure a program half way sometimes. Having 4 or 5 different string types also doesn't help. If you need to resort to C-isms anyway then better use the real deal (C or C++)... If you don't want to use C/C++ then look a C#, Java or Python.

Rubbish. Snobol rules.
SiliconWizard:
PL/M rules.

Its endless. With all the time and effort wasted here in this forum you could have coded a graphics package in COBOL. Just as futile, but at least *something* works in the end >:D >:D :horse:
