kmx.io blog : Why I stopped everything and started writing C again

After learning Common Lisp, the author wrote several packages, including cl-facts, a graph database, and became disenchanted with virtual machines and containers. He then decided to start writing in C again, creating a utility library called libc3 that would eventually become a language (KC3) with an interpreter and compiler. The author claims that KC3 is fast, secure, and easy to use, with no garbage collection or runtime errors.
