Just another turd to stack on top of shit mountain (Or maybe shit temple? Highly-recommended website: https://project-mage.org/on-flexibility ).

C: "We took ALGOL and made it worse."
C++/Java: "We took C and made it worse, and also called it object-oriented to be trendy and ruined the actual concept forever to the point of being disowned by its creator."
Rust: "We took C++ and made it worse."
Every other language that looks even slightly like C: "We took C and made it worse and also slow."

Meanwhile our operating systems are still basically 70s mainframes and glorified typewriters and calculators, that can't do graphics to save their lives and can't even display a graphical interface without a few seconds of loading, even though those are about as old as C and existed when the Bell Labs people were still editing text in fucking ed. Also, our hardware is designed like shit and to run nothing but shit.

Anyway, at least GNU is working on a Rust implementation, so the corporations won't TOTALLY monopolize it. So it's actually getting less bad, technically.
