Are you saying that the complete domination claim is also true in comparison to C?

Yes, I think this is the funniest thing about C++. Everyone who loves it thinks it's the most popular language...well except when compared to C.

Basically, until you can kill C your language really isn't that popular. It's a fad by comparison.

I don't know if he's saying that, but yes, nearly all performance-sensitive code in games and desktop software is written in C++, not C. Objective-C seems to be edging in.
