Or better, why not pascal? The HONEST question is because developers hate progress. We could have left in the past C/C++ by now, but not, is better to move forward with the same problems as DECADES ago. Rust is a potential contender because is not that far from C/C++, and have {}, and the last point is not even a joke. ----- Is weird to me why a clean fork of C/C++ was not made, if the prospect to move to something else was too much progress for the minds of the industry, the slow progress is a good alternative. You could have C.1, C.2, C.3, etc... Think how much is about "modern C, modern C++, coding well" and then why not commit all that wisdom as the language? The creator of Pascal made a point that a new version of a language must remove and correct the mistakes of the precious version, not accumulate problems. That is fight AGAINST entropy.
