Vue Native (2018)

We're all well aware of the unix/c coupling. What I'm saying is that for low level memory mangling and primitive operations over the set of register based machines.. you don't get any benefits from using another language it seems. I.. just a dude but some people doing HPC said that you can even reach FORTRAN speed on numerics if you fiddle with the right keywords to avoid aliasing.

Again I'm not a C fan.. but what would pascal or basic give you that is a critical factor in making a better system with it ? modula I can't say. Asm is too coupled to the underlying cpu it's out of the window already.

Safer with less memory corruption exploits to start with.

Fixing C is so beyond hope that Apple, Oracle, Google, Microsoft, ARM are all driving hardware based solutions for memory tagging and pointer validation, while at the same time reducing the use cases for it across their OS stacks.
