So why invent a new syntax and invalidate all of that
knowledge that everyone has?
I subscribe 100% to your statement!
Well I think it's enough to add new concepts like modules/packages/classes to C, and
a jdk a-like all purposes library, as libc isn't enough for the 21ths century.
I still love C because I'm able of writing small and very fast programs. go is cool
to, but a memory hunk compared to C. The rust hype is declining since 2 years and java is
the new cobol, ie. it's good for business oriented applications, whereas C and go are
(beside ASM) the only choices for system oriented people. Has C a future? Yes, it already
has just begun.
