I think what C is missing is everything that people fall back onto clever use of pointers and macros to implement. Not that I think C should have all those things, Zig does a decent job of showing alternatives.
- uecker 11mo agoYeah, but I meant specifically from ALGOL68.
- ofalkaed 11mo agoI don't think C is missing anything from Algol 68, but, FLEX and slices would be nice, although Algol's slices are fairly limited but even its limited slices are better than what C offers. Algol 68 operators are amazing but I don't see them playing well with C.
