What if we have a C that removes the quirks without adding too much brain drain?

So no implicit type conversions, safer strings, etc.

Swift is really great these days and supports Windows and Linux. It almost feels like a scripting language other than the compile time of course.

There is no universe where I'm doing to use Apple tooling on a day to day basis. Their DX is the worst among big tech companies by far.

They have quite robust command line tooling and a good VS Code plugin now. You don’t need to use Xcode anymore for Swift.
