I extend it, and say that choosing a bad tool is a sing of a bad programmer (even if the programmer is so skilled that use C very well!), but the resistance of recognize C/C++/JS to be BAD, REALLY REALLY BAD, PLEASE NOT USE THIS ANYMORE (only in rare exceptions, and still not use it ok?) Make this a full circle.
We need more "good" programmers to express this, alike how say "use of carbon/fuels is bad, and the fact the WHOLE ECONOMY OF THE PLANET is not an excuse to not replace it ASAP!"
And yes, why not make a concerted effort of make real replacement to well chosen libraries? I think using the pareto principle, we can target 20% of the most popular stuff and have a huge impact.
