if it could’ve, it would’ve, but reality is such that k&r gave us this lingua franca, and not that other one.
the very fabric which holds the entire humpty dumpty together is still mostly written in C, so there is that. writing code in C still requires a tremendous amount of discipline and professional culture, true that. these things notoriously scale very poorly.
As for UB, IDB, BJJ and other scary words, i guess we get to discuss that once we get to read the first ISO standard for rust and its stdlib, which is definitely going to be written in a better, clearer, less Aesop language compared to ISO C, which resorts to CYA strategy on every 10th page, because people who write it aren’t exactly stupid and understand the amount of responsibility they bear.
