Yes, please better support for arrays, mainly multidimensional. Fortran is good for that. With good arrays I think that strings comes naturally.

  What is wrong with multi-dimensional arrays in C? It works far better than in C++: void foo(int X, int Y) { double a[X][Y]; .. } In fact, this is one reason I switched away from C++, because arrays are so bad in C++.

    That is a CVE waiting to be exploited.
    • uecker 3y ago
      No.
      • pjmlp 3y ago
        It definitely is, given a nice combination of parameter values, stack sizes and careless programming.
        • uecker 3y ago
          It is not more unsafe than fixed-sized arrays on the stack and stack clash protection (which you need anyway) protects against this. Also if you compare with C++ and use std::vector, surprise, a CVE about to happen: https://godbolt.org/z/cTG71aTsf https://godbolt.org/z/cTG71aTsf (yes, one can activate library assertions, but still - by default - unsafe)
