Can you please recommend a 'simplified' C, if it exists? By 'simplified' I mean a 'cleaned up' subset of C which would (ideally) compile on a standard C compiler but avoids some of its syntactic/semantic darker corners.
If you are looking for a simplified C but still want it to compile on standard C compilers, just don't use the features you don't like. Out of curiosity, to which syntactic/semantic corners are you referring?
