C has its place; every language has its quirks. I think a lot of emphasis needs to be put on testing code. Like SQLite uses Tcl to script tests. C is easy to test because the “software units” are only structures and functions.

The library that this post is a subset of, actually does have a testsuite. It compiles every example, and it's own documentation. The testsuite still needs to grow, and check evaluations rather than whether something "works", but it's getting there.
