The article talks about C dying for *user* applications explicitly: "A great deal of serious end-user application coding on Linux still goes on in C or C++" "Where does this place the future of the Linux desktop..." "The expectation for GNOME 3.0, however, is that a lot of the platform will use Mono, rather than the C implementation it has now"
Probably no one writes kernels in C# and there is less and less reason to write user applications in portable assembly. Programming languages are tools, and we use different tools for different jobs. I prefer to use higher level languages where it is feasible because I'm more productive. I use C where I have to, because it has features that other tools don't.
There's no law in Vancouver that says you have to have a drivers license to be able to go to a bar. You can use any government issued ID (such as a passport). I don't think they would not be allowed to discriminate against people that don't drive or have had their license revoked.
