It is not hard to design a language which is a "better C than C" because C has obvious warts, the article mentions a few. But the warts just aren't big enough

It is not hard to design a language which is a "better C than C" because C has obvious warts, the article mentions a few.
But the warts just aren't big enough to justify switching to a different language. That's why no "better C than C" has ever become really popular.
