I used to program in C a lot. Of all the non-GC (or memory ownership) languages, it's my favorite.
If you had to start from scratch on Core Lightning and couldn't use C, which language would you pick?

It would be Rust. The language is maturing fast, and I'd be prepared to place a bet on it. The performance is nice.
Re: memory ownership, we use tal which provides many handrails with memory management (I wrote it based on the ideas from Andrew Tridgell's talloc library). I would not write a significant C program without it.
