You did more than that: you've suggested that C was only usable if a pile of safety infrastructure by providing sqlite as your proof, and once that claim was debunked you kept insisting on your baseless assertion.

There is no need to prove that because it's quite obvious that C is fine. If you feel the need to prove otherwise then you need to put forward your own proof. Either you support your baseless assertions with rational and tangible claims or you're just venting an irrational dislike. Meanwhile the world runs on C and has been running for decades.
> it's OK to just keep programming in it forever, because it does not use C. If you're not putting in that much effort to your C codebase, then you're not getting those results.
You're somehow turning a blind eye to the fact that that "effort" is patently language-independent and has absolutely nothing to do with C. Either you somehow missed the whole point of the post or for some reason felt the need to keep repeating baseless claims that were already debunked.
I have no idea why you've developed an irrational hatred of C, but it clearly is a personal issue, not a technical one.

No. It is quite obvious to anyone rational and without a vested interest that C is no longer fit for purpose in this modern age. > I have no idea why you've developed an irrational hatred of C Let me guess. He's sick of patching security holes, memory leaks and crashes?
