You misunderstand me. By "utterly irreplaceable", I'm referring to the entire programming landscape, not specifically to each conceivable case. C and C++ cannot be completely replaced across the entire industry.

My bad, I totally agree with that, as a side note: someone asked Linus Torvalds (the Linux kernel god) if he had plans to migrate the kernel to Rust, he answered something in the lines of "Rust seems interesting but nope, I like C", so there it is, not even C is soon to be dead.
