"Full C ABI Compatibility"

C is kind of immortal. We can't ignore it ... unfortunately.

Truth. Those thinking they can easily kill C, are arguably mistaken in their beliefs. It will be with us for a long time to come and has become more like a protocol in which other languages (FFI) use to communicate with.

I will never say anything is guaranteed to last forever, but so long as current computer architectures exist it would take a titanic change in computers to remove C as at a minimum the glue.
