C would do better improving what matters, the lack of safe enumerations, strings and arrays, but even that they fail to copy from C++.

Yes, please better support for arrays, mainly multidimensional. Fortran is good for that. With good arrays I think that strings comes naturally.

What is wrong with multi-dimensional arrays in C? It works far better than in C++:

void foo(int X, int Y) { double a[X][Y]; .. }

In fact, this is one reason I switched away from C++, because arrays are so bad in C++.

That is a CVE waiting to be exploited.
