Since I am no longer heavily invested in the C/C++ stack I have no choice but to agree with you.

My general point is that IMO the tech giants' patience towards C's persistent problems is long over and that's why we have Golang, Swift, Rust etc. Don't crucify me for the "persistent problems" thing please. ;)

I fully understand the need for a language as close to the bare metal hardware as possible but many people -- me included -- prefer a more stable and predictable environment with the price of less speed.

I believe there's no right or wrong side in this particular preference.
