Why use C other than legacy codebase support?
C isn't close to assembly. One statement in C can translate into a dozen statements in assembly.
i agree that rust is absolute cancer, but i dont think you know what you are talking about
Proponents of hand hold-y "safe" languages are soyified man-children, raised by women to behave like women, averse to all risk and accountability.
It used to be considered high level back when most code which today is written in C or C++ was routinely written in assembly. Nowadays when a huge amount of code is written in languages like Java, C#, Python, or Javascript, and use of assembly is very niche, C is by all means a low-level language.
But it isn't. It is just lower level than languages like Java, C#, Python, or Javascript.
There's no reason, everything should be written in Javascript. God I hate using an OS that isn't made with Javascript, it makes me feel dirty.
C is too hard to write a standard-complicant compiler for. Terry Davis said fuck that shit, HolyC is different and fuck standard C, it's a mess. And he's right, you know. Look at the bloated ass compilers that exist today. Fuck that, my money's on Forth and asm, because I'm going towards low-fi and small, unbloated, unbotnet.
