   we need a like Super C and its just C with a sane syntax (that means no symbol table shit) and it doesn't do anything more than C it just does it really cleanly.
   
   then we like, build all our other shit on top of that.

     @lizzie the c parser is notoriously inefficient because you have to build a parse tree and then resolve ambiguities afterward.
     
     contrast to things like pascal, or go (which is a spiritual successor to C), where you can pretty much sweep the program in one pass.

     @lizzie they're not really as advanced as dedicated c compilers, nor are they a particularly common language. (also the c stuff does convert to ssa these days.)
