Obscure hardware still gotta be supported somehow

What are you implying here?

That c lang is simplified assembler and it’s not going to leave cause there no better language to support obscure hardware, i mean, nobody gonna write compilers for obscure architectures to rust or c# because everyone have better things to do, but my idea is, there are alot of obscure hardware out there, actively used even now, and i insist that we should not pollute the world but repurpose every tech there is, and c lang have compilers for almost all existing architectures if not all, also there are alot of manuals how to write compilers to c lang so in case you slap some asic together you can make your own compiler and support your hardware, and modern memory safe languages yet to acquire this feature and that is if they plan to do this at all and not abandon obscure hardware
