C is not a great language but is the best language we have.
For doing what?
For doing C things
for programming.
What about rust? Isn't its goal to be a modern c? Not that this is my opinion just something i read.
Rust is a better C++ replacement than C. Something like Odin would fit the mold better than Rust ever will.
Is it because c/odin is even lower level or what is the difference in your opinion if you don't mind explaining.
I try to make sense of the whole programming world but it is just so complex and most of what is written is pretty dry so i like to ask people.
Simplicity of design. Rust is built cleverly. It has lots of features and there are also tons of clever ways to solve a problem. Odin is quite simple and although not entirely minimalistic, it is written in a very clear way when approaching a problem. The borrow checker in rust in one thing I would call clever. It takes time to get used and although can be quite useful for safety it is too clever.
