No. I like C. I've learned about a dozen languages by now. I always end up coming back to C. I've just accepted it.

There is no reason whatsoever that C can't be improved. Compiler attributes and builtins are already doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. Recent addition: counted_by, an attribute that allows compilers to properly track the size of memory referenced by pointers. All C programmers should be making liberal use of this stuff.
