I wonder what other string could have C used 50 years ago that would have stayed usable for that long. I love that, thanks to C, plenty of old programs can still be used today. In these days of accelerated bit-rot and language "communities", and perpetual rewrite of everything over and over again, C stability and ubiquity is a safe harbor, and has been at least until now a good investment. I have no idea what you mean by "proper arrays". I guess bound checks?
