> ddevault is an extremely talented developer. I fully agree with this, and that's why every single post of his about the language fills me with dread. It's a complete waste of talent, boiling the ocean, instead of simply "taking over" an existing minor language with his talent. Or just do his thing with Go, or Rust, or any of the other zillion system languages in the world. Emotionally I want to be proven wrong, and see that language thrive, Linux/gcc-style against all odds, but rationally, I think there's only one language that can even approach C-killer levels and that's Rust. If Rust with a literal Evangelism Strike Force can't kill C, then nothing can.
