unsafe really is subjective (and we can learn this fact from 
observing how different countries, and different people dealt 
with the pandemic). There is a tolerance for risk, always, up to 
a point.

In anycase... C has, and will always have, value.

I like this statement below:

"..because we see everything with its real nature in C"
- quoted from: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/vfsxzwrieivwqipicgka@forum.dlang.org

Any langauge that tries to improve on C, no matter how worthwhile 
the effort, is inherently deceptive.
