C and C++ are both powerful languages but D brings some new things to the table. Then there's E, innovative yes, but why use E when we have F, or better, F#? Personally, I've used G for a couple years now but I am betting the future on the H language.

Some people are already skipping ahead to using K, but the guys I'm most scared by are those who only use R.

C came from the B language, which itself came from BCPL. In that way, the next true successor of C will have to be P, and sure enough, we have something going on here: https://plang.codeplex.com/ :)

I'm disappointed that we have more letters to go before we get to the best language ever developed. I'll probably be retired by then.

I'm disappointed that Z is already here and it's only incremental updates to Bash.

You forgot about J...
