As great as C is, I love C also, but trying to sell C as enabling programmers to be highly productive is crazy. Then comparing C to other languages and scripting languages that are used for different purposes is rediculous. Reconsider revising your text, for those who have been around the block. Consider the many other factors that help programmers to be productive. Versioning systems, coding standards, good management, good clients, good communication, good work environment, libaries that are already built for specific languages, and other good languages (such as scripting languages) that eliminate much of the busy work you find in C. When you said "don't get me started on scripting languages", that's like begging for a war on words which is pointless. Why did you even include this in your comment? Advice to you and everyone, use your head and make the most logical choice of language for the job. You don't want to make a website out of C. You don't want to make hardware drivers out of PHP. As a no brainer, we all know given specific needs, which language is better for specific needs.
