ISO C is increasingly moronic

I doubt any language will replace C ever, given the penetration it has, but maybe we could get a better C2X than the crap C1X seems to be. It would require a significant fraction of programmers to agree with me that C1X is crap in the first place.

I am mostly a Python programmer who still remembers C and I won't say "crap".

I will, however, say "ugly".

how true is it that one reason C is increasingly unlikely to be replaced is that cpus these days specifically optimise the performance of C-compiler-generated code?
