@thephd@pony.social i so desperately wish for a “more civilized C” in that it loses all pretense of being “hardware-adjacent” but doesn’t encourage abstraction that makes programs hard to reason about. that, and a standard library free of unix/posix brainworms that caters to practical needs of modern software (at which point we’re also getting into syscall territory…)

it’s not just that C as a language is a cancer, it’s also that it infests and paradigm-locks almost everything else through libc
