Why do we use C still?

We should all switch to Java/C#. It makes programming much much faster and easier. http://techiest.blogspot.com/.

I work on embedded microcontrollers that have, at the most, 16K of code space and 512 bytes of RAM. I have a nice efficient optimizing C compiler that creates object code nearly as tight as the local assembly language.

Do you think I would benefit from Java? Because I don't.

And the resulting code much slower too. It all depends on what you want to accomplish. Really, THIS particular topic has substantial bandwidth allocated to it already...
