While I do agree that C3 tries a bit harder to keep closer to the look and feel of C, it has arguably already veered too far away, in order to be modern. These changes can be viewed as unacceptable to many fans of C. C3 has taken on a very strong Odin and Jai flavor. Since that's the case, the argument for Odin, Jai, Vlang, etc... would be equally valid. If you are going to make a modern language, then their creators should not feel too restrained. There are other C family languages that have a Pascal influence and didn't go OO crazy, not just Odin. So in that context, languages like Golang, Vlang, Jai, etc... are equally viable alternatives to look at.
