Nah, not really, OS development is a niche, and most application
programming these days isn't very speed intensive, primarily because
computation is at least 1e6 times cheaper than in the early Unix era (1
mips vax at $100k vs. 10000 mips x86 at $1000.  The software development
cycle has gotten a lot faster so people can't spend as long tweaking and
debugging code.  There are some big applications and OS's written in C
or C++ but not that many people work on those.  Facebook and Wikipedia
are written in PHP, Youtube and Yelp are supposedly written in Python,
Github is written in Ruby, etc.  (Youtube of course depends heavily on
ffmpeg or the like, which are written in C, but not considered part of
the application proper).  Most programmers I know these days, including
me, do most of their stuff in scripting languages and quite a few have
never used C at all.
