It's prob a balance. Sure, C is king....but if you are starting from scratch...do you REALLY need it or could you design something even better? Maybe, maybe not.

I've programmed for a long time, but always struggled with Assembly and C, so take my views with a grain of salt.

I don't think C is king anymore. They could use Rust with nostd, or Zig, or C++. Anything (low level enough) is better than an entirely new language.

I missed this earlier: "Radiance features a modern syntax and design inspired by Rust, Swift and Zig."
