People keep playing this tired song, while clearly ignoring that until ISO C89, even C was full of dialects, a mix of K&R C and whatever the compiler writer felt like, filled with tons of Assembly.

Small-C, RatC,....

Additionally forgetting that Modula-2 came out in 1978, as means the sort out all those issues, a language designed for systems programming, instead of the "Python" from 1970, designed for teaching.

With features that C is yet to have, 50 years later, while HN is hypping for having them in a C like syntax delivered in a Zig package.
