I feel the same about C for systems coding. You're not wrong.

I'm actually with you on C. C has the excuse of being portable assembly and from the dawn of time. Javascript is just the result of shoehorning something into the browser quickly.

C is 10 years younger than the dawn of systems programming languages and it is only portable Assembly if the CPUs are still PDP-11 look alike.
