The biggest problem C has is the standards committee. They appear to have given up on making any significant improvements to the language. C could have an optional bounds checking mode. It is possible to design such a feature in a way that allows progressive adoption without breaking compatibility with existing libraries. C could also choose to move some forms of Undefined Behavior to implementation-defined or even defined. Many of the current standards committee members are active impediments to progress. We'd all be better off if we hit the reset button on that. Just look at what the C++ group has been doing by comparison...
