@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.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
