The Resurgence of C Programming
Whenever C gets brought up, people are like, "pointers... memory... dangerous!"  In 20+ years of C, I've never had a (self-inflicted) problem in that area.  Maybe I'm the rain man of bit-twiddling?<p>What has caused me tremendous grief are all of the inconsistencies in the compilers, the gotchas of the precompiler,  and the ambiguities in the language itself.  C++ is even worse.<p>Rust is great, but not great enough to justify a redo of a program that has been extended and maintained for decades (like vim or photoshop).<p>I think an iterative tightening of the language would be of greater utility to everyday computing than a rush to re-do everything in something "better."
