"Dylan not Bob." (tm)
No no... I mean Dylan *like* Bob Dylan but not Bob.
"The Future is Dylan but not Bob."(tm) :-)
We all know that we need something new then C/C++ in the future.
The question is, what.
I think Dylan can do it.
Dylan will do it.
Dylan do it right now.

By the way. C++ is object *oriented*. (For example, data encapsulation
is not OO-like. We all know, that objects and data can and do exist
beside each others. Like in real language: Objects, Subjects, etc.)
C will still exist. But more and more, we all know, that we have to use
somethings really better. Also not C# and .NET and the like. Theses are
well known "old" languages. Like Fortran, C, C++, Pascal, Ada, etc. etc.
So, C is still a basic thing if you need to know how things works on
assembly/machine/pysical point-of-view. (Sure, you can write high-level
thins. But use malloc and the like does'nt made me happy.)
In short: The future is Dylan for Operating-System things (write an OS
like NT, Linux, MacOS/X etc.) and a scripting language like Python for
scripting things.
..NET, Java, C/C++, Pascal, Delphi, Perl, etc. are all languages based on
very old concepts.

Does C have a future? I'd like to think so, but nobody seems to agree
with me. Of course, I don't use C in my profession, and maybe I
wouldn't be using it if I had the pressure to actually produce things
with deadlines and stuff. Hmm. That's a depressing thought.

I can't stand OOP. Yes, it is beautiful in theory, and it might make
sense for huge projects with many people involved, but I don't want
anything to do with it. (I switched to C from C++ AFTER having learnt
OOP properly, BTW.)

I should probably flesh this post out more, but what the hell... What
do you think? Is there a future for non-OO programmers like myself? I
know that you can write "object-oriented" code in C, but hopefully, you
get my point.

How often is C used today for game development for consoles/Windows,
and for general application development? And no, I don't mean "C/C++",
but pure, real C.
