That's because once you replace C, you aren't a "C programmer" 
anymore.

I mean, sure, I can still write C as well as the next guy and 
indeed do from time to time, so I guess technically I'm still a C 
programmer... but the majority of things I would have used C for 
eight years ago are written in D now.
