Do you honestly think Odin is "C with an extra 10%"? Or any of the decent alternatives that are available (e.g. Zig, Jai, etc)? Because if you really think that is the case, you know nothing about these languages nor have ever used them. All of these languages provide a hell of a lot more than "10%".

As for RAII, I do explain in another comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32629951 & https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32631462) why RAII has alternatives and not necessary for every language. If you truly believe that RAII is necessary for you, then use a language that has it (e.g. C++, Rust, D).
