Academic liars

If they say they want to make programming better and they use C, teach C, or are not trying to replace C, they are a liar.
If they say C is a good imperative programming language and anything better must be functional or object-oriented, they are a liar.
If they say a simplified or less undefined C will make programming better, they are a liar.
If they say C is too hard to replace, they are a liar.

they think it's because everybody has at least 16GB of RAM and a quad-core processor's worth of processing power to waste running those nowadays,

They don't really write applications that need to be run 24/7 though
