The C3 language creator reflects on how positioning C3 as a 'C replacement' was misguided, noting that modern developers don't view C as an application language the way older programmers do. He shares his personal journey through 80s/90s programming with BASIC, Pascal, and C, explaining how the role of C has fundamentally shifted in the decades since.
Background
C3 is a systems programming language that emerged from the C2 project, aiming to improve upon C while maintaining compatibility and low-level control.
