Also enjoy a HN thread pertaining to this video, to get an idea of how the crowd reacted when this video popped up.

As you can see from google trends Java has been above C in popularity for quite some years but starting with 2008 C regained its rightfully owned Godfather of Languages title. Many causes for this are flowing through my mind but i am just going to mention one: Embedded Devices.

C will never die! The following fair usage of Google Trends will show you why you shouldn’t worry that C will disappear overnight. 😉
