I've been seeing those exact words for decades now, and C is still going strong. Every few year a new language comes, somes writes something in it, that was written in C before, someone might even write a basic OS in it, and after a few years, that language is almost forgotten, a new one is here, and again, someone is writing something in it, but in the end, we still use C for the things we used it 10, 20, for some, even 30 years ago.
