Because C was designed to do one thing really well: give you access to ALL low level features of your architecture without compromising readability too much. With great power comes great responsibility, as they say. All modifications of C do basically just one thing: they put training wheels on your computer for you because they recognize that you didn't grow up, yet, in terms of computer science. ;-)

Languages don't solve the "bad programmer" problem. ;-)

@bhavyakukkar I had a code once that ran 50 times slower than it should have. The guy who programmed it didn't know what a cache miss was. He had all of his loops nested the wrong way around and there were dependencies in the code that didn't exist in the data. An optimizing compiler can't remove explicit dependencies that somebody puts in there for no good reasons. That was a typical case of poor programming skills.

@joseoncrack Uneducated people don't need a language to mess up. All the need is a vote/voice.

I will publish my next failed language design three weeks from now. :-)
