Very true, i use C for embedded work because i need direct control over the
hardware, and being able to see the exact asm code generated and tweak when
necessary is a huge bonus in this situation. However, if I'm writing
something that isn't either performance critical or very low level platform
specific code, i would always use either Java or Python (others will have
their preferences here - i hear great things about ruby for instance), Ive
even been known to prototype certain code in Haskell when that language seems
appropriate.
