It's a horses for courses thing. I work for an engineering company writing Fluid Dynamics code, using (gasp) fortran. Most people turn their noses up at fortran, but it is a very good language (espeacially f90/f95) for what I do - heavy maths.
C will be around for a very long time in certain circles, as will COBOL, Java, Perl etc. They will not be the coolest/most populat forever, but will survive in niches where they offer the best solution.
It is more important what you write rather than what it is written in (within reason).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
