Sure, theoretically there could be viable alternatives to C.
- pjmlp 10y agoWhat makes many of us sour, is that it isn't theory, rather already proven in the past, back when C was only a UNIX language and barely relevant outside it. It was the commoditization of UNIX in the industry that pushed C outside UNIX, just like we nowadays have JavaScript outside the browser.
- fauigerzigerk 10y agoIt sounds remote today, but you're right that it didn't have to be this way. What should make you even more sour is that another opportunity for starting over seems to have been passed up when Google only recently chose to build Fuchsia on top of a C++ based kernel.
