Exactly, 2 hours after 4 years is perfectly fine. And all those saying "well my c project did it without a problem!" yeah that's why the entire world is mostly using c for large modern, complex and ever-changing applications; right? Most of the C stuff people are claiming compiles fine after so long have no external dependencies and are really small, simple projects...

This whole thread just reeks of JS hate. I'm not perfectly happy with the language either, but nor am I perfectly happy with any other. If my employer wanted me to use C# or Go or whatever instead I'd be perfectly okay with that as well.
