  <p>I started off with C in school, went to Java and now I primarily use the P's(Php, Perl, Python) so my exposure to the lower level languages have all but disappeared.  I would like to get back into it but I can never justify using C over Perl or Python. What real-world apps are being built with these languages?  Any suggestions if I want to dive back in, what can I do with C/C++ that I can't easily do with Perl/Python?</p>
