C's simplicity is oversold, when taking into account that in practice it isn't the second edition of the K&R C book, adapted for ISO, rather a plethora of extensions, several standard revisions since 1989, zero care for security.

Dealing with security issues is one of my occupations, when having a DevOps role in project delivery, and I rather use that time elsewhere.

Following that argument, c++ is also a colossal waste of time and energy and bugs when compared with Rust :D.

Trolling about the choice of implementation language from a throwaway account is worth downvotes, yes. Doing a given task in a given language, simply for the sake of having it done in that language, is a legitimate endeavour, and having someone document (from personal experience) why it's difficult in that language is real content worth discussion. Choosing a better language is very much not a goal here.
