Sure. Foreign function interfaces (FFIs), also known as ctypes, are probably the best thing to point to as glaring examples of how C holds us back. Once we start there, then a spidering network of technologies are highlighted, all surrounding C, from dynamically-linked code objects (DSOs and DLLs) to the required usage of '%' characters for printf-style string formatting via templating. We need to move beyond memory-unsafe paradigms already. Assembly intrinsics aren't great but they're certainly better than C.
