While it may seem that C# or Java are on top, they are nowhere near replacing C++ or C. They're different languages, needed by different things. C/C++ has much more power(able to interact much more closely with the machine itself, not layers built on top of the OS) and speed than Java or C# will in the forseable future, and is therefor used for applications where speed or close interaction with the machine/OS are required. Java/C# is used in projects where the programming requirements are a bit more lax, and allow for more flexibility in regards to raw speed and power, and are therefor used because they make things easy.

Interestingly, I had a really hard time "getting" C++ until after I had already learned Java. Once I learned Java and came back to C/C++, it made a lot more sense and I loved it.

C++ is demonspeak type that calls forth an inter-dimensional gate to allow demon spawn to roam our realm.

Yes C++ really is that powerful. Try creating an inter-dimensional gate in C# or Java. Lisp OTOH will allow you to create two dimensions, then create an inter-dimensional gate between them.

Did you know that French actually has a word for hat? It's chapeau. Also, there is elision.
