I went through a recent round of job interviews in Silicon Valley, and if I hadn't
been a good C++ programmer I wouldn't have gotten a job.  I have friends that want
to change jobs but aren't able to because they don't know C++.

I'm not saying C is dead, but it's going.  Here in the valley all the startups
seem to be doing C++.
