@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)

Pretty sure C and assembly can do it all

Just compile C to (a third language)

Also, yes, you could accomplish everything with those two languages. Hell, you don't even need C. But for things where the relatively low level control of C isn't necessary, why shouldn't we use something that let's us focus on domain logic instead of preventing buffer overruns every few lines?

Totally agree.

Also rolling your own data structures all the time isn't much fun.
