While I take Alex's point about the practicalities of getting people
to use a language (independent of it's actual appropriateness for the
job at hand), I just suspect there must be a better language out there
in the multiverse, which did the job of integrating nicely with C,
allowing incremental improvement of C code *without* actually trying
to *be* C (+more stuff on top).  Of course, it's far too late now.
