Many clean forks of "C/C++" were made and they're all dead because apparently it's not so easy to do as you think.

Is not about being easy to do. Is that developers not accept them if not recreate all the same things that C/C++ have with the same good & bad, defeating the whole purpose.

Plus, this need a serious marketing push, and more than the work a few on them. Is each year harder and harder, similar to Cobol (where each year on drugs make you less likely to quit).

Now, the best hope is a painfully and too long gradual switch to rust or something else...
