Just found out dad knew COBOL. Programming has always been in my blood. Not sure what to feel.

@Maz, here in India, we have two Premier Education Boards for School Education
1. CBSE - They start with BASIC programming and go up to C++
2. ICSE - These guys starts with MS-LOGO and then start Java Programming from 5th standard

"begin" and "end"

I don't consider C vintage at all. It's an awesome language. It will never fully die because it's simple and small -- and Linus still uses it AFAIK.

@Jamie
I agree, C is a great language to program with.
It has been kept up to date.
Yet it still is one of the oldest languages.

@Hatsy, first official programming language that I learned was COBOL way back in 1995-96

@Jamie, you are absolutely right, 'C' is the language which was solely written for developing secure, multi-user OS UNIX. It also laid foundation for most of the languages that are today used. @Manual also rightly asserted 'C' need to be updated as we see in case of C++ which is continuously being updated.

@Devender C is being continuously updated. The latest standard released was C11. If C is updated less frequently you must remember that C's library is also a lot smaller than most other languages.
