C Isn't a Programming Language Anymore
Summary
The article argues that C isn't a true programming language anymore but a protocol that shapes how languages interoperate through ABIs and FFIs. It delves into the difficulties of C header parsing, the absence of a single stable ABI, and strategies like symbol versioning and forward compatibility to evolve interfaces without breaking existing binaries, illustrated with case studies such as MINIDUMP_HANDLE_DATA and jmp_buf.
