Personally, I have nothing against the emergence of new programming languages. This is cool:
the industry does not stand still
competition allows existing languages to develop and borrow features from new ones
developers have the opportunity to learn new things while avoiding burnout
there is a choice for beginners
there is a choice for specific tasks
But why do most people dislike the C language so much? But it remains the fastest among high-level languages. Who benefits from C being suppressed and attempts being made to replace him? I think there is only one answer - companies. Not developers. Developers are already reproducing the opinion imposed on them by the market. Under the influence of hype and the opinions of others, they form the idea that C is a useless language. And most importantly, oh my god, he's unsafe. Memory unsafe. But you as a programmer are (and must be) responsible for the code you write, not a language. And the one way not to do bugs - not doing them.
Personally, I also like the Nim language. Its performance is comparable to C, but its syntax and elegance are more modern.
And in general I’m not against new languages, it’s a matter of taste. But when you learn a language, write in it for a while and then realize that you are burning out 10 times faster than before, you realize the cost of memory safety.
