Language fads

R-Bloggers has a post about hipster programming languages where they talk about the emergence of Clojure, Scala and Coffeescript.

While I'm not really experienced in any one of them, I wonder about what's the venerable languages that these cool cats are missing. C is a must for the embedded system work that I do for sure and what is cool is often size reduction. In an environment where every byte counts and memory access is key, C remains king.

Now if we can get more lisp or scheme usage in the embedded world.
