This is fantastic, if you're still excited about C. However, the question I am asking also has to do with the social relational aspects of programming. Here, significantly, when we are talking about the lives of programming languages/decades, I think we should ask whether other people, and, importantly, industry, will be equally jazzed about yours and others C code, in the future. Are people still going to be happy to deal with all of C's problems when, perhaps, alternatives exist, and if, say, memory safety becomes cheaper, etc.?
