But nowadays you "have to" use C as you have everything in C, like Microchip's libraries, but here we can talk about Bytecraft, HiTech, CCS or FED. The route is quite long and steep till you reach the point what Olin has now -- his own libraries and macros and compiler infractructure. Most comanies choose the "easier way" using an existing package which is mostly in C, so you "have to" use C.
