Slow compilation and complexity isn't an issue. It's a price for much better result code quality and elimination of many errors.

Maybe Zig, Hare or C3 then?

Also what I like about C is that is has mature tooling, very portable with multiple implementations, and that is is very stable. I would not use a language for any serious project hat does not offer all this.

Honestly, I do not think that the problem is C is o big that one needs to jump ship. There are real issues, yes, but there are also plenty of good tools and strategies to deal with UB, it is not really an issue for me.

Zig isn't a language I mean. It's still full of footguns. It doesn't address fundamental reliability issues of C.

I was responding to uecker, who had other preferences

You are correct about the complexity. I write it with significant assistance from an LLM. Not quite vibe coding, but close. But I'm coming from Python, not C.
