"Even as we speak (type), systems
 in which the long-gone program manager invented a
 flimsy excuse to use C or C++ are in horrible 
 trouble because their compilers are obsolete, are
 no longer supported, and the language definition
 has changed.
 
I would be truly surprised if this was the case for C. There
is a standard for C, which is very well known, and for which
there would be many compilers which are up to the mark.
