    Anything that is drop-in replacement for C (or C++ for that matter) is going to be awful because of the same compatibility burden, imo

      D is a mostly drop-in replacement (type renaming and such needed though), and it doesn’t have that issue. D even has a mode called BetterC, where the D standard library and the garbage collector is left out.
