My point is this: I had a language which was highly adept at dealing 
with all those tasks, yet it managed that without all the annoying 
aspects of C, and specifically without having UB where UB is not needed.

Ergo, C doesn't need it either.

It was just enough of a HLL to have all the advantages of such, without 
all the problems with assembly. But to deal with bottlenecks, as it 
wasn't optimising, it had a VERY easy to use inline assembler.

(C at the time wasn't optimising either, neither did it work slickly and 
effortlessly on the hardware I had, from the accounts I heard.)

And it didn't need 'volatile'. If you wrote to memory, then it would 
write to memory. It could also directly access i/o ports.

Tell me, after using my language very successfully for this stuff for 
10-15 years (this would me mid-90s), what would C bring to the table?

If that is the only choice, as it would be for very many, then you have 
to use it. And do battle for its over-zealous UB and its hundred and one 
quirks and compilers that can't make up their mind if your program is 
valid. (I've had either 0 lines of warnings, or 18,000 lines, for the 
same program, depending on options.)

I've tried to use it (because I no longer wanted to maintain my own 
language), but it was like switching from my comfortable modern car to a 
Model T.

Seriously, what exactly would happen if C decreed that signed overflow 
wasn't UB? It would just wrap (and give the wrong answers /if/ you 
expect them to be in range, but it would do something unexpected anyway).

And there might be the odd optimisation that it might not do. (Although 
the ones demonstrated in this thread could also be handled by switching 
to a 64-bit int.)

But imagine not having the burden of that particular set of UB to learn 
or teach or document or debate or to constantly have in mind.

Keep It Simple.
