I'm using many diffent languages for many things. But when I write
stuff that I'm humbly HOPING will be useful, say, 30 years from now, I
pick C. It seems to me it's likely it will stick around, close to its
current form, a long time from now. I don't think I could make that bet
on other languages that are popular now, either due to the language
itself being in flux, or its libraries, ecosystem, etc.
