it's unbelievable to me that there isn't a larger movement of developers to move away from c towards better & safer languages. look at how much pushback the rust4linux folks get, primarily from c developers who are simply afraid of change. imagine engineers not adopting safer building practices because "they prefer the old way"....it's disgusting honestly.
what will it take to move away from c? older devs retiring. Planck said that "science advances one funeral at a time" and i fear it will be the same for software.
