Imagine you could go back in time and affect the proposal of the ISO C with your current knowledge. Would you really keep the return type of ftell() as long? Would be great, but until you build that time machine, you are refusing to see the blatantly obvious. People don't use C because it has any tangible benefit to alternatives. C is an unsafe, insecure language and people use it because it's established, and partly because they are intimidated by new things. Tell people that the proper way to write C application in HelenOS is using new, better API that doesn't work anywhere else... and they will not bother, because it's silly. That battle has been fought and lost.
