| Aug 13, 2013 at 0:40 | comment | added | detly | I think that if a language is going to displace C, the most important thing is not features or safety, but timeliness. For example, the PIC32MX came out in 2007; there wasn't even a C++ compiler for it until five or six years later. If you were a manufacturer, you get to choose two of: get to market ASAP, more sophisticated language than C, use fancy new chip features. | |
