tech salt, something you probably won't want to read
@kiilas I also hate that first thing, and I agree that there's value in sticking to something that doesn't change every few years.
But I think tools are really really important - with the right tools, you can cut out almost all bugs and produce really solid software.
And I don't think there should be value in sticking with a language which is at this point half a century old.
As an aside: have you seen this: http://www.c2lang.org/site/ ?

@kiilas (note that I said "should be" instead of "isn't" - the unfortunate state of Modern Software Engineering means that there is still value in things that we should have progressed past years ago, because of the huge amount of stagnation we are actually seeing)
