I first don't see a problem with C being a basal part of the curriculum for centuries, we are already at half a century going strong.
Second, if this were to happen, it should happen with a mature language, and decided consciously by seasoned professionals.
Third. I think more than looking at other languges we should look into other types of pointers, like files, hyperlinks, assembly addresses, inodes.
To date C is the standard for pointer-pointer syntax, introducing new standards is fine, but it only makes sense with the standard syntax.
It's the canon of programming. Long live C
