Or maybe it's time for some people to start realizing that the success
of C is based on a bit more than operators like ++ or << :)

I really don't think the language features (as in "computer science")
have much to do with its success. As long as people only look at the
language (programmer's view), they're missing the bigger picture -- the
part of it that makes or doesn't make a language successful.

C isn't successful in all areas. It probably was the first language for
server-side creation of dynamic content for web sites, but it has been
replaced by PHP, Perl, Java, Ruby, ASP.
