This is interesting. Recently, I&#x27;ve been doing more c programming again, and everytime I do I find myself thinking about building a language that is essentially c with just a very few pain points removed. #1 is a build&#x2F;module&#x2F;package system for making it easier to build modular code without copy&#x2F;paste that is the defacto c-standard. #2 would be removing the pain points of utf8&#x2F;unicode support (go seems to get this pretty close to right). And that&#x27;s really it. (you could throw in an easy way to do closures and all values immutable by default and I wouldn&#x27;t mind either).<p>Otherwise, I&#x27;m usually completely happy using C. I&#x27;ve tried Rust and Go and they have their use cases, but for most low-level things I do, I don&#x27;t care that much about everything being perfectly safe (i.e. rust), and I don&#x27;t want gc, and the high level stuff that Go brings. Really, just give me C with a good module system and I&#x27;d be perfectly happy. Maybe I&#x27;m alone here though...
