Well, assembler predates any "high level" language by a wide margin, and pascal first appeared in 1970, while C only appeared in 1973.
Maybe C++ wouldn't exist without C, but I'm not sure the absence of both would be a bad thing....

Edit: duh, I missed the "beside" in the original message.

It's a sad thing, but it does put things into a time frame. People who were the early inventors are getting up there in age.
too late. who cares.
60 % of my servers are solaris10 and counting up .( never need to restart them )
few are red hat
i use also: centos, ubuntu ( many versions ), debian
windoz 2000,2003,2008 and counting down ( restart daily ). under 1% of people company use msoffice ( thanks god )

without windous - better world

think what happen when Linus will EOL. disaster for shure and forums will be full of rip-s
