linux "C"... Linus T. is holding the line on syscall ABI stabitily but failed at keeping plain and simple C with assembly source files to uncouple linux code from the few compilers able to build it and unlock smaller alternatives (for instance cproc/qbe).

I don't really mind though as it seems the far away real future is something like everything RISC-V assembly, "C" would only be the binary specification.

And some python/javascript/etc interpreters written in RISC-V assembly themselves, because sometimes my code can be slow and non-rigorous.
