ITT we post our opinions on which language is better at (performance || being object oriented || portability || whatever) and is the proper successor to C.

The proper successor of C is C99, it only needs a serious standard library with real functionality
Amen to that. I love C, but I really, really wish they'd make a new standard library. The current one is crufty, inconsistent, and dare I say both inefficient and dangerous. Considering that libraries are usually shared now days, it'd also be nice if it did a bit more than it does now.
Of course it'll never happen, so sooner or later it'll be RIP C. Thanks a lot, standards committee. You guys really do suck.
