doesn't know about C18
Oh yes, I do. From what I remember C18 doesn't add anything substantial. It was mostly just a maintenance update.
You wouldn't have a fucking operating system without it
Even though most of the operating system I use is written in C, if C didn't exist it would be written in a better language and suffer from less security vulnerabilities. All this C code holds us back.
It's also insanely portable
Technically all languages are portable. Since C programs often rely on operating system features, they are usually tied to the same operating system they were designed for making them less portable.
And the other likely option is haskell ends up with full dependent types before idris is ready, and then everyone just sticks to haskell anyways.
Dependent types in Haskell won't be as clean as they are in Idris from what I've seen.
ok. If this is turning from "how do we keep up the poetic justice fun" to "git gud" why not just do it on these people's twitter?
anons go to laid off journalists twitter.
Completely ignore everything they say.
Have a code discussion that they can never hope to understand.
They are clearly the ignorant unsophisticated ones
Not in the cool kids club
We're not just telling you to code. We're co-copting your twitter into a code tutorial hub.
They write "17 reasons Why all white men should die." We just have a 50 reply discussion about shit like this
I think that would be fucking hilarious and work on many levels.

Magnetism was first described about 600 BCE. Electricity around 2750 BCE. Today, electricity and magnetism are outdated.

The integral symbol was invented by Leibniz in the 17th century ffs, why is everyone using this obsolete garbage?

No, the correct analogy would be saying that our understanding of what magnetism was in 600 BCE and our understanding of what electricity was in 2750 BCE are outdated.

What advances could have happened in our "understanding" of the C language? Or, perhaps more to your point, what advantages do other languages have over C? Efficiency and tidyness of the source code? Efficiency of the compiled program? Functions that are completely impossible on C?
I think an even better analogy still is comparing it to mathematics, which has not changed in syntax in centuries.
