Just for the record, I don't think C ever dried up in the embedded space. And the embedded space is waaaay bigger than most people realise, because almost all of it is proprietary, so very little "leaks" onto the public interwebs.

Believe it or not but there is plenty of Java and C++ in the embedded space. It’s far from being a C fortress.

Java in the embedded space? I believe you, but I know nothing about this area. Can you share some examples?
