The bulk of the first half about very lean std doesn't make any sense to me - the fact that you can use "import hashtable" has precisely 0 pedagogical blocks to learning how it's built or how to build your own: you can just give students the same task and ban that import?
Also unfortunately no comparison of low-level languages, like, what, have none of the newer ones really made any progress to make them more comfortable for students to rival C??
There are both factual mistakes and mistakes in opinions (fact is opposed to an opinion, but mistakes is not part of the trio), and not very relevant. But you're right, not really worth debating around if you can't address even with the "trivial" ones
Have you said the relevant points or have you decided my points are trivial and not worth debating, thus wasting all your intellectual budget on childish insults, leading to the current confusion?

You add a few more common mistakes without addressing the issues I've raised
The "issues" you raised are trivial and not really worth debating about.
The points i have listed are factual (not mistakes nor opinions) and directly relevant to why learning C in 2026 is still a good idea.

Confused word salad just dodging discussion of any of the real points/issues.
Trivialities are easier to write out but they are not understanding nor knowledge.
So stop hiding and say something relevant!
Huh? I have already said the relevant points in my other comment linked to in the beginning.
You are the one hiding behind trivialities and nonsensical phrases; typical of folks who don't have much knowledge but argue for the sake of arguing.

An obfuscatory and almost incomprehensible sentence.
My comments were clear/direct and there is no room for miscommunication/confusion.
