I feel like there has been a lot of energy put into creating system programming languages that fix the shortcoming of C and C++. But it seems to me that the solution is to just realize that we rely on C too much in code bases, to talk to OSes, and between programming languages to ever get rid of it. So instead of trying to replace C in all of those cases, just make a better C. Simplify the language to the point where parsing it is almost trivial. Barring all of the above, why not just create a new standard where people agree that A * B; And (A) - B Can only mean one thing. Sure this wouldn’t do anything for the old code, but at least where new C code was required we wouldn’t continue dealing with all of its complexity. I feel like this is the same problem with CSVs. It is trivial to parse if people follow the standard but most people don’t. But if you create a parser that only accepts the standard and refuses to parse non standard CSVs then you never have to deal with any of the BS edge cases that come up. And if you show where in the code/CSV the ambiguity is, people might actually fix their code to get it to parse correctly instead of leaving it ambiguous
