    The popularity of C has led to a number of programming languages’ taking significant cues from its design, and parts of its design are… slightly questionable.

    Let's start copying APL instead

      Life is too short to code in C

      If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

            Write in C - YouTube[^]

            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                How about let's stop creating new languages altogether. We should have enough by now.

                  Sometimes complaining for the sake of complaining is fun, but not when I'm supposed to read several pages of mostly illogical rants. Overall, it sounds like she needs to start using C++17. (The funniest part is when she asserts that language X is more logical because, and then shows something completely opaque.)
