Shortsighted discussion. C’s integers being wobbly-sized is the reason we have C compilers for pretty much every conceivable cpu architecture and we only have rust/swift/other compilers for a handful of carefully picked architecture. There are entire industries where C-as-a-protocol is fine enough (and actually appreciated, even though the author doesn't like it). There are entire industries that do not use X86 or ARM, let alone RISC-V. There are many use-cases for MIPS, weird/other architectures (PowerPC, 8051, m68k-derivatives, pic-micro)... I had a relative that used to work on control software for space stuff, the CPUs used there are even older and definitely not x86/x86-64, arm or risc-v). So yeah, complaining that the C language does not fit your own very specific use case is very shortsighted. We should all remember that the world does not revolve around us and around our own use case.
