Yeah it's rather odd, also jumps like this in ADA makes you wonder

Ada is being discussed a lot on HN as some sort of 'lost utopia', and AFAIK Tiobe doesn't count actual usage but (more or less) mentions.

C is hardly any path forward

It's not much different from any other high level programming language. Just a different set of compromises to accept.

Yes why would anyone choose to make a fool of themselves when they could choose to build instead?
