You got me as to why this is. Dude, I tried back in the day - Ada, MODULA, all those.

Maybe the "badass 'C' hax0r" meme was stronger than I realized. But I think a lot of it was just switching cost.

To be fair, Ada has a lot of library cruft for dynamically sized structures that you don't have to deal with in C. It can be pretty annoying.
