I could do pretty much whatever I wanted in (DOS) user space with Pascal.
I can do pretty much whatever I want in a modern OS user space with whatever lang I prefer. "Oh but you might need C bindings" because the OS was build that way! (And with Windows/COM you might prefer a C++ bindings - just saying ;) )

C is an old toolbox where 1/3 of them is a rusty finger-remover, 1/3 is a clunky barely do nothing metal crap and 1/3 of them kinda works
I'm all for a simplified set of essential tools, but not one where it's sharper on the user handle than it is on the business end
