It's the kind of day where I both have to look closely at someone's security model and also deal with the cat deciding to eat the butter

If I were ordered by a court to stop doing something on pain of potentially being sent to prison, I would simply not continue doing the thing

It doesn't matter whether C is good or not. It matters that if I write code in two languages that aren't C, and I want it to all be part of the same process, I need to care about C. C pervades all. You cannot escape it. C will outlive all of us. The language will die and the ABI will persist. The far future will involve students learning about C just to explain their present day. Our robot overlords will use null terminated strings. C will outlive fungi.
