old and modern do not mean anything in programming world. C is old - doesn't mean it's better or worse than modern languages. Could you rephrase it in terms of features we can actually compare? I prefer to rely on "old telecom technology" many times, since it's meant to be as close as possible to 100% reliability (telecom being the keyword, not old).

I agree that old and modern are not very appropriate terms when comparing technologies. However I didn't mean to express an objective statement in my comment.
