C is named in 9 of 256 roles

The index was refiled this week into eight sub-domains, and every role now carries a part number. Ten roles below, grouped by the sub-domain they are filed under.

C++ is named in 132 of 256 open roles and Rust in 90, but explicit C appears in only 9 — including in kernel and firmware postings that are almost certainly C work. That gap is a property of how postings name languages, not of the market. Week-over-week movement starts with the next issue; this is the first issue after the taxonomy change, so there is nothing yet to diff against.
