What people want today is easy cross platform coding, something poorly served by C, but served much better by both Zig and Odin.

I am only giving my impressions. Coming from other languages, this was very confusing, and the error messages were not helpful.
hmac1282··on Better C – A subset of D Programming Language
This reminds me of when Tsoding (streamer with programming content, often low level) tried to use BetterC for coding. The verdict after a streams was that BetterC seemed more of a bait-and-switch tactic than an actually useful thing.

Although Tsoding liked D as language, but BetterC was really a disappointment.
