My experience is that C requires strong developers and attention to detail. That requires time, and complexity increases non-linearly per LoC. If we're talking supply chain, it's great for embedded and edge devices, otherwise I look to the old wizards to provide the foundational libraries for interpreted services. Supply chain safety is more a function of economics in my uninformed opinion. How can we reduce middlemen while preventing monopolies or bottleneck moats?
