@programming Unpopular opinion: 95% percent of all modern programming langueges are either bloated/proprietary/unneccesarily complex. pretty sure C & assembly can do it all (even for web development, just compile c to WebAssembly)

Just because we can do everything in C and Assembly doesn't mean it is a good idea or that we should.

Replace C with lisp and you're 100% correct. Even then Rust is better than lisp IMO.

If all you have is a stone, every tool starts to look like a hammer.

Your opinion is unpopular, because it is wrong.

No normal person would think of C when told to imagine a language that is not bloated and not unnecessarily complex.
