The specifics of C’s design could barely be less important. In the 70s it was one of countless ALGOL derivatives churned out on-demand to support R&D projects like Unix.
Unix succeeded, but it could have been written in any of these languages. The C design process was governed by the difficulty of compiler implementation; everyone was copying ALGOL 68 but some of the features took too long to implement. If Dennis Ritchie had an extra free weekend in 1972, C might have a module system. But he didn’t, so it doesn’t.
Word, Rust shills are the most annoying and shitting of the programming language zealots I’ve seen since the Java Enterprise shilling of the early 200xs. WHat’s worse, their memes aren’t even good, unlike the JS memes.
Ah yes, the rust zealots shitting on one of the most important languages of all time… again.
Kinda weird how the number one way to promote Rust has been to downplay C and others.
Found the Cnile
Lol if this is a joke on C and senile… Haha well done.

Okay grandpa, back to bed.
Boomers out past their bed time are hilarious.
