C is arguably the world's most successful programming language. Its success has, of course, endlessly tempted people to improve upon it. Thus, C is probably the patriarch of the longest list of languages. Notable among these are C++, the D programming language, and most recently, Go. There are endless discussion threads on how to fix C, going back to the 80's.

But C is an advanced assembly language, we are used to it and it is available everywhere.

the biggest mistake is that we hav to recompile everything instead of just the C libraries.
