A comment on Conflating pointers with arrays: C's biggest mistake? (2009). Parent comment
You don't seem to have followed the discussion or the paper. The array length is known; a slice is a "fat pointer", but not "double-fat".
"The point isn't that doing things D's way isn't great; the point is that there's no reasonable way to put this feature into C."
You're plainly wrong; the proposal in the article does exactly that.
