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

PL/M, MPL, and a few other derivatives of PL/1 were created by microprocessors vendors in the mid to late 1970s, to support bare metal programming for their products. If C had more presence at that time these things would never have existed.

Yeah, no kidding...the horse died like 10 pages ago.
Well I spent some time today buttoning up my data acquisition app by making a custom icon.
Oh, and my app has some booleans, and in spite of the incredible complexity surrounding booleans :wtf: they worked fine. I mean, like, what's to discuss? They're, like, true...or...false. ;D
"if (plotIt && !plotStop)"
On second thought, I'm sure that will start even more boolean muscle flexing but anyway...
