Syntax ain't the problem. The semantics of C and JS could not be more different.

But the point isn’t that they’re more different than alike. The point is that learning c is not really that hard it’s just that corporations don’t want you building apps with a stack they don’t control.

If a js dev really wanted to it wouldn’t be a huge uphill climb to code a c app because the syntax and concepts are similar enough.

What "advanced features" are there to speak of in C? What does the syntax of C being similar to JS matter?

This comment makes no sense.

Well theres the whole c89 vs c99. I’ll let you figure the rest out since it’s a puzzle in your perspective.

Honestly C and JavaScript could hardly be more different, as languages.

About the only thing they share is curly braces.
