You bring up good points.

I often think about C.

I learned C a long time ago, I still have the KR book, and if I look at C code I can get a good idea of what is happening, even though I haven't kept up with all the changes.

In C# now, two developers can write code that accomplishes the same but might not be able to read each other's code. I dont think that is healthy.

It is somewhat the Microsoft Office / Word approach to programming languages. Just Keep adding features on top of features.
