yeah, this is the actual good mindset.

C has never been a particularly good language, and is so good that finally (with tons of pushbacks!) there is an alternative that make the case so strong that is at least considered the possibility that will come the very happy day where C will be our past.

The only, true, real blocker is that C is the ABI. But if we consider the possibility that C can AND should be the past, then the C Abi can finally adds sophisticated things like Strings and such, and maybe dreaming, algebraic types (ie: the C will be improved with the required features so it can evolve the ABI, but not because will be a good language for write it (manually) on it).

And to reiterate: C should finally be a real assembly language, something we not need to worry about.
