few. Whether I'd place it first or second is a
tough call. (C++ ranks a close third in my estimation.)
But I still suspect
that there are at least a few BDP applications written in C nonetheless.
Loads. Absolutely loads.

C was never really a good general purpose language. It was
never used (nor even usable) in commercial software, for
example.
So MS Windows is not commercial software? Interesting.
(Early versions of MS Windows were written almost entirely in C.)

could be
improved here or there... it's broadly okay though... but - we did all this
*years* ago! And you want us to write it *again*?

Usenet is a strange place - dmr
overloading on
user defined types (like C++).
You don't need either of those to do accounting.
More generally, C is pretty bad for text handling as well.
It's easily good enough, given that just about the first thing most people
do in C is start work on their text-handling libraries.
