   I thought you might have infered it.   
      
   All shortcomings of C can apparently be fixed by employing a selection   
   of it gcc's 200+ options. So no point in making the language better instead.   
      
   But that doesn't work when some bits of raw C need to be used from   
   another language. For example, library headers containing a C API, which   
   some languages may use as the basis for their own bindings.
