With all of the novel and esoteric programming languages that exist, I wonder why hasn't there been a "I can't believe it's not c/c++" language that breaks these things, but isn't taken seriously enough to diverge completely from the ISO language standards. (for bonus points, with standardized gcc extensions, and something like embedded asm but for compiled languages (like iso standard c))
