The Balkanized nature of programming is interesting.
I make a comment about C and get a flurry of responses, but ask a
question about a programming language that is also very common for

I don't think that you're being quite fair. There are boatloads of
specialized application programming languages--I rarely pay attention to
any of them, figuring that after your first dozen or so, it's easy
enough to add another one.
Heck, I may even have some STL stashed away in my collection of Siemens
PG-685 floppies. I never was interested in looking.
