gollark: Consider a random CLI tool. That probably does *not* need access to C libraries specifically. Or a random desktop application.
gollark: That's mostly a bad reason because a lot of the time they *don't* really, or there are already libraries binding to C stuff.
gollark: Consider supreme overlord Rust. That has C bindings for loads. Consider Python and JS, less supreme and/or overlording. Those also have C bindings for many things.
gollark: Somewhat plausible, but you can bind to C from other languages fine.
gollark: COMPLAINING:Why does so much stuff get written in C when it's both slow to develop in versus high-level stuff, *and* wildly unsafe?Everything is wildly insecure and apparently nobody cares?Can we *not* do better with regards to data transfer/interop between programs?
