"Those in search of eternal life need look no further than the computer industry. Here, last gasps are rarely taken, as aging systems crank away in back rooms across the U.S., not unlike 1970s reruns on Nickelodeon's TV Land. So while it may not be exactly easy for Novell NetWare engineers and OS/2 administrators to find employers who require their services, it's very difficult to declare these skills -- or any computer skill, really -- dead." My Take: "C" dying should have been "x86 Assembly".

Can I "Third" this?
x86 Assembly (or any kind of assembly) is on the way out as programs are more complex.
C is actually seeing a resurgence now in the embedded space. As low-level programming gets more complex, people are phasing out Assembly and moving on to C.
Granted that C is losing ground on high level programming, it's actually gaining ground in the embedded space.
