Origins of C

"C is a programming language which is like, totally ghey. It's low-level and has those stupid pointers. It was superceded by Java 20 years ago and is virtually extinct today. The only actively developed code using C today is the Linux kernal and the Yahoo! search engine, both of whose user count do not exceed 16, combined.

C code often ends up looking like the output of figlet(6). This is to be expected from a language that has three different uses for '*' depending on context."

Seems pretty accurate to me.
