"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".

I dont understand why the hell C is in the list. Is he talking about lame business programs only?
Just to add to the author's knowledge C is still the most coded programming language:
1. Linux kernel: Pure C code plus some assembly.
2. GTK: GPLed Popular Gui development toolkit. Still natively coded in C
3. Most of the device drivers are programmed in C
4. C is still the only language for System development.
5. Recent news Worlds largest used Cell phone OS Symbian is now using Open C platform.
Author needs some knowledge brushup
