> So why invent a new syntax and invalidate all of that knowledge that ever=
yone has?
I subscribe 100% to your statement!

Well I think it's enough to add new concepts like modules/packages/classes =
to C, and a jdk a-like all purposes library, as libc isn't enough for the 2=
1ths century.

I still love C because I'm able of writing small and very fast programs. go=
 is cool to, but a memory hunk compared to C. The rust hype is declining si=
nce 2 years and java is the new cobol, ie. it's good for business oriented =
applications, whereas C and go are (beside ASM) the only choices for system=
 oriented people. Has C a future? Yes, it already has just begun.=20
