Why am I creating these posts? Not because I want to sabotage the infrastructure or do not recognize new technologies and programming languages. Undoubtedly, new languages must appear and they must compete, because this is a natural process, of evolution. I just want to understand the mood of the C community itself. It's lukewarm on this platform. Nobody is against new languages, and they can be used together with C or as an alternative. But here we are talking about a complete replacement. So, working with memory directly is the job of whom? The chosen ones? The units that will sit behind the compilers? What about the rest? Only fulfill commercial orders? Is this engineering? Is this programming?
I look at how programming has changed over the course of 25 years, what they teach at universities, and where they start. And I came to the conclusion that on a large scale, it was all for the benefit of giant companies or the government.
We must protect the “intimate” knowledge of the foundations and water the roots ourselves. Because they don’t realize, they don’t see that if the roots are not watered, the branches on which they sit will dry out. Therefore, who, if not us? Thanks, everyone!
