My "one word broke C" article is wrong in all kinds of ways. I understand C way better than i used to. The things that need fixing in C are not UB, its very complex memory model stuff. I have no interest in changing any fundamentals or adding new features.

It is sad to see your transformation.

00UB does need fixing, and C needs less UB. If you don't think so anymore, then C will become untenable for me to use.

> I understand C way better than i used to.

Maybe, but I did not see it in that video.

What I do know is that you do not know much about the humans using C or the environments where C is used. C is a tool for humans, not machines. Prioritizing machines over humans will make C worse over time, and implementors will use that to further excuse their behavior.
