this is funny. because ~13 years ago is the exact period when C effectively stopped being self-hosted, with GCC's move to a subset of (not-modern) C++.
no one is "sticking with C", if given the choice, except /g/eet sophomores and their fellow nocoders. you know, the type of person who would retort by mentioning a meme "small" C compiler upon reading this.
some of us are just glad rust came to exist, instead of being forced to pick a supposedly sane(ish) C++ subset we can agree (or rather not agree) on using.
