Those Millions of C/C++ programmers have certainly accomplished more and have happier lives then the Tens of armchair safety experts groking internet drama.

In my experience the people who wring there fist at C/C++ are generally people who at one point tried C/C++ and either got frustrated and quit or got told they suck or turned down at job interviews. Or they are people trying to sell you the new hotness and have some personal gain to accomplish. People I know who did some C/C++ and now work with other languages could care less about replacing C/C++. They just do there thing.

And honestly, academics and busybodies have been whining about safety and memory and hating on C/C++ for decades. We need to get rid of it. It smells, its bad for your teeth etc. Creating a never ending stream of total crap programming languages that no one wants to use. That never actually do what there creators propose that they do. And that never replace what the say they want to replace.

Even some crusty C++ programmers still hate on C coders and how did that work out for them :)
