Ok, The following is the highly level goal. It dictates the design choice and hence the user experience of Stensal SDK.

I want to make C/C++ more user friendly and less scary to beginners. If you love C, you should keep enjoying coding in C and worry less about the memory safety issues. With the advancement of tooling (You will see more advanced static analyzers and runtime analyzers coming out from academia and the industry), it will be less a problem in the future.

The simplicity and portability of C is its key strength that no other languages have. Once the memory safety issue is alleviated, the simplicity of C will help us to build less complex but more functional and reliable code.

C++ is just a completely different beast that I have to support.

and memory/address-sanitizer, which are super helpful too
