C isn't the best programming language. Only because something is

do they serve some corporate interest? Are there better ideas that will
never be put into practice because they don't serve or even go against
corporate interest? Is D still a small player because it is too
community-oriented? (I hope this will never change!)
Mind you, how many of the big "be all end all"-technologies that have
been hyped over the years are really good (including community base
projects)? JS, Java, Ajax, PHP, Ruby, iOS, Android ...? With good I mean
really good, not omnipresent.
I'll have to go with: If it managed to serve corporate interest, that's
because you were satisfied by it and suggested to others to "vote with
their money". The company name is merely there to take that cash and
re-distribute it to whom deserves it. I doubt the smartest person in the
world could produce a microprocessor chip from sand without help
