The message I replied to said:

So what I was saying was that you would want a C programmer to develop in a C codebase.
>There are plenty of programmers that wouldn't want to touch C to begin with, regardless of past experience.
I wouldn't want to do a lot of original development in C myself. I have used C -- and assembly language -- to do nontrivial things in the past. But I'm ready to be done with C myself.

Umm...[citation needed].
There are plenty of programmers that wouldn't want to touch C to begin with, regardless of past experience. Anyway, why would you ask somebody with no experience in C to develop your C codebase?
>If you've used C++ and C, then sure, you can probably jump to just about any language.
Nope.
