I don't even think thats an eccentricity since its fairly common in programming to do it that way --Alan D

The claim that C is the dominant microcomputer applications language is now somewhat dubious, IMHO. In the Windows world, it's probably a toss-up between Microsoft's C++ and Visual Basic, I'd guess. C still rules for embedded systems (that is, the ones not written in Assembler), in the Unix world (particularly for apps that don't have a GUI), and people who can't be bothered remembering C++'s arcane semantics for multiple inheritance and operator overloading :) --[[Robert Merkel]]

Recent stats of what percent of code in RedHat distro is written in which programing language,
clearly shows that C is dominant, at least on Unices. It's very probable that C++ is much more
popular on Windoze world, but I seriously doubt that many apps are written in VB. --[[Taw]]
