Perhaps this sheds some light on YOUR situation and helps explain
why you're so dead-set against C.  If you can neither reason with
your management nor learn to live with their decisions, you could
get a job elsewhere.  If the whole world seems to be involved in
a conspiracy to force C on you, then you have more serious problems.

Most C programmers that I know chose to use C without any prompting
from management.  Hell, our management isn't qualified to choose
programming languages for us.
