Some people, somewhere, need to be hanged.
(I know there are and have been many more languages and paradigms, but I'm using the best known ones to illustrate the point.)

Oh have I got good news for you then. Have you heard the good news about
Rust? And
Zig?
I think you might like them. I am playing around with Rust, which is slowly replacing C in the Linux kernel as well as moving into different embedded spaces. It is memory safe which is why some big projects are using it.
As for Zig, a couple people have written games in it. It's on my todo list to try but right now I am working with Go as it is simpler to get started with in regards to working closer to the metal (it's not exactly
that close to the metal). People love to hate Go because it (used to) lack Generics and has a wonky garbage collection heuristic. But coming from web it is a breath of fresh air.
