WE ARE!!
As a computing professional C is one of the tools I use.
I am always looking for better tools,  however this group is not where
I look for a better language tool,  this is where I look for the best
way to use C.  Why don't you try an appropriate group.

    Hold it! Stop all programming, stop all software development!
    YOU, yes you, get away from that keyboard.  There will be no
	more work done until WE create the "wave of the future" language.
	All you people who are trying to get by with C until this language
	comes along, STOP IT.  All you people trying to standardize C so that
	we can all use it the best way possible,  STOP WASTING YOUR TIME!

Mr. Giles:  What is this wonderful language we should be using?

Until you can answer, or until there IS an answer, to this question
would you please stop net.proselytizing.

To net.world:   Sorry, I get a little miffed when idiots start
				defending their obnoxiousness.
