Why does C get flak for UB and memory-unsafety while all the new popular languages have a fucking eval()?!?

Most new popular languages don't have eval (Swift, Kotlin, Rust, Go) and even in those that do it's easy to avoid using it.

It's nearly impossible to make large C projects without memory corruption and other UB bugs slipping in. Banning eval is easy.

Banning large classes of memory corruption in C is also easy. People don't do it.

Banning eval in a program that handles _crash dumps_ should have been a no-brainer. Oops.
