Don't know about you, but this settles the debate for me.

If C is enough for Elon Musk, it's enough for me.

Musk says that C is his favourite programming language.

>>>> ***Carmack:*** So an interesting question: What are the aspects
of C++ that are real wins for that style over C? Range checked arrays
would be good.  What else?

>> ***Twitter:*** Which is your fav programming language? Python?
Snake

> ***Musk:*** Actually C, although the syntax could be improved
esthetically
