I would strongly disagree with this statement.  C is not "bad" in general, =
it is
only bad when applied incorrectly.  Like any other tool, C is better suited=
 for
some applications.  The same way, there is no universally "good" language.=

Gotta use right tool for the job.  Most people would not write Windows GUI =
app
in assembler, the same way using java to write firmware for PIC16 is probab=
ly
not a good idea, at least in majority of applications.=20
