Well, clearly those examples demonstate that my opinion has some 
merit ;-)

Also, many of C's so called problems, are really more library 
problems. You can't even do i/o in C without a library.

also. you kinda left out alot.... like all the problem domains 
where C is still the language of choice... even to this day.

I mean, even Go was originally written in C. It seems unlilkely 
they could have written Go, in Go.
