Let's see what (and how it) lands in C2x. Of course, as any other language, C might be taken over in the future by a new generation and be bloated, too. But so far, it is contained.
In any case, nobody can deny the amount of bloat in C++ has no parallel.

I might do, in a limited and simpler form, as I said before. Of course I am not developing something like SKIA; just firmware in a limited and constrained environment (not even using std).
- pjmlp 5y agoThere is no denial about that, except most languages suffer from similar bloat. When people count the amount of pages on ISO C++, they forget to include the standard library on the process. Which on C's case it includes the expectation that POSIX is also available.
