An old favorite that came to mind when someone mentioned C in the recent void post.

On a semi-related note, are there any modern languages that *aren’t* C-based?

On an aside, it just doesn’t feel like Dilbert anymore since Scott modernized the dress code...

Ah, if only he'd said "What if you program in D?" D is a great language.

Most functional programming languages, they're based on lambda calculus, fundamentally different from C's model of computation. Haskell, Erlang, F#, OCaml, SML, Idris, etc.

C might be used in their implementation though. Eg. Haskell is self hosting (compiler is written in Haskell) but the runtime has a ton of C code.

Popular languages that I use, that have very little, or nothing to do with C:
Most procedural SQL dialects,
R

Clojure (your programs will have no bugs and be really fast), Scala (scales horizontally as fucking hell), Erlang (the most reliable one, just doesn’t fail)

Also applied ones: R, MatLab, Python (come on, it’s a new Perl), also Perl itself, Bash and other shells

Also query languages: SQL, CQL, other ones I don’t know. And several exotic ones like Nim

All modern languages are written in C, or C++ if the team was lazy.
