None of the new languages managed to capture what makes C great

The few "modern" ones are interesting, Zig, Jai and Odin for example, I like how they took C designated initialization to the next level

Zig's comptime is also nice

D is nice, but is loosing its charm now that the competition is here.. also what used to be a D strength now is a weakness; it's slow to compile thanks to the std.. debugging still is a pain, and code can become quite overly verbose
