> If you are familiar with Odin, one of the most popular "C competitor" languages, this might sound a little bit insane to say out loud

Its hard to believe someone actually said this with a straight face.

I tend to lean more inclusionist, but there is no world where odin is one of the most popular c competitor languages.

Zig is more popular. Name a second modern "C competitor" language that's more popular?

Seems reasonably accurate? Odin is not particularly popular. Zig is much much more popular. As-is Go, although that’s not a straight C competitor.

But other than that?

Odin is a real language being used by real professionals to ship real software products for money. That alone makes it a rare and notable programming language!
