Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Well, after fighting an endless parade of memory corruption vulnerabilities for the last 35 years, maybe it is time for a change.
The advice may be coming from the white house but it seems like a better direction to go in than metaphorically continuing to point loaded guns at our feet.
