@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)

    Your opinion is unpopular, because it is wrong.

    No normal person would think of C when told to imagine a language that is not bloated and not unnecessarily complex.

      I’d say it’s necessarily complex for the things it is used for and neither bloated nor complex when used for purposes it was used for back in the C days.

      But then again, I don’t consider myself “normal”.
