Well, C doesn't really solve the problem considering that most programs are written in C (or maybe a little less than C++, I don't even know) and almost all of them have some major issue, and don't run nearly as well as they should. And that is pretty much any program that does not run in a terminal emulator, and even the terminal emulators are not all that fast. Why does xterm take a visible moment to open? How is that even possible?

How is it still almost impossible to have a GUI program that runs smoothly? Not to speak of UI design, it hasn't improved at all, it even moved backwards. The only programs that have the performance that you would expect and programs that just remove everything, to the point that people have developed an antidesign mindset, you see less user interface design than you saw on fucking DOS.

Like, I use programs like that, with no UI at all, because they are the only ones that work, or are just the best for me for some extensibility purpose or some feature, or they just perform so much better than I can't justify using say, a GTK equivalent.

Still, I look at what I'm doing, and it's absurd, it makes no sense for these things to perform so poorly when graphical interfaces have existed for 50 years. And all this shit is written in C. And I don't think it would be better if it was written in x86 assembly or Brainfuck.

Really, the entire computing paradigm is flawed, it's all a huge disaster and pretty much everything is to blame. I would say that it's the biggest clusterfuck that humanity has ever produced, but can it really beat civilization itself? Or just itself, humanity has made itself the way that it is now. The monkey instincts are to blame too, but at some point people have to take the blame for choosing not to get that shit under control.
