Comment on: To Save C, We Must Save ABI

OS and CPU combination define their ABI as "whatever our most popular / default compiler did in 90s". That's the problem with C-based ABIs. OS ABIs aren't independent of the language. So any new language must include a C compiler within for ABI access.See https://faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-a-language/ for more detailed analysis.
