Please tell me if I misunderstood but this is what I thought I was reading here:
- The author is someone quite young (undergrad age) who is serving on a C language committee (that I assume is mostly made up of people who are over 40, probably mostly over 50).
- The author not only is donating his own time to C language committee work, but also clearly knows what he's talking about regarding C.
The article came across to me as thinly-disguised frustration/anger that the committee had no interest in making C "safer".
My take away was that the article very much fitted in with all the articles one sees being positive about Rust not just being of academic / hobbyist interest but being a serious contender for a replacement in many industry contexts.
