There's no fundamental reason a C compiler has to be written using any sort of OOP.
-
My main point here is, maybe C-with-restrictions is a good language. It's not how anyone uses C today, so less relevant to evaluate C.
-
Language should serve the real humans working today, with their culture and current knowledge base. If those two doesn't work - problems.

"If you follow rules, there won't be bugs" needs empirical evidence those rules are easy enough to follow in large project by average humans

Automation will replace the majority of programmers. Making programming easy for "average humans" is a non-goal.
-
"Average human who are in the programmers workforce". Limiting candidate to work on prj to top 0.1%, or req 10yr self ed means bad tool.

I agree, disagree with
@hyc_symas's view here. Following safety rules should not require expertise, should be accessible to beginners. -
But in the case of C I think one big reason beginners make so many more mistakes is learning from actively-bad teachers/examples.
