I think that C is completely fine; Language is relatively simple, and so can be easily used/implemented anywhere.
Any dynamic parts and GarbageCollection can be provided by C libraries.
By using source-to-source compilers, C is a good target language.
From this standpoint, we can treat C as a "cross-architecture assembly platform".
Time is your friend. Just wait and watch. It's ticking, one second by one... but in a friendly way it does it's "ticking job" or... maybe better "tickling job" ? You choose, what fits best for your case.
btw, seems that the open core CPP project is available through site's Download section... under title with big letters named "Crypto for Hackers: The Workshop"
Not one elementary particle, but whole interaction of many of them.
Yes, animals have that same substance, but at lesser scale.
I make distinction between pure intellect, which computer can do fine, and other component, which I doubt that it can be accessed by computer without connecting silicon with biological material.
My closest belief is near similar as mentioned in article, that brain, at some level has some "computational primitive", which resembles transistor functionality.
But that is only one level. There can be additional layers of function, which can be influenced by sub-atomic entities, like elementary particles. We still don't know how deep this goes. This is, what most likely, provides depth of our consciousness.
Our biological hardware is built out of finite atoms. Consciousness unfolds out of "electrochemical circuits". Electricity == consciousness.
We have what is called "human energy" - emotions are one example of expressions out of it.
For AI, to be human like, it has to simulate physical behaviour of human energy.
I see, that out of this energy behaviour simulations can emerge what I call "computational psychology". That is, computer could analyze and decode human behaviour and "understand" like psychologist does this.
Thing is, that many people don't see these subtle patterns - they are learned over lifetime with different success rates. Once they are aware of these patterns, they can function more efficiently as a human. Such "psychologist as app in your pocket" potentially can raise overall quality of society.
I have my regex alternative version, currently in development, with C like syntax. Here is approximate sketch, how it looks. Goal is, that from this syntax I can get full, hierarchical AST for programming languages parsing:

- until it's done, some smaller details can change.
Idea is that it can build multiple layers of matched items. In this example, layer 0 is "pattern lines"
then on top of this, gets mapped tokens representation at "parttern tokens".
and lastly, over lines and tokens goes AST objects, which are represented by language code.
Hierarchy and context-based patterns referencing and construction can be easily achieved.
Ideally, I would like to build this with realtime update feature, when used in source code editor. In IDE, when I write some characters in code, these changes propagate into parsed layers objects and updates what is needed.
I also want to build my projects and get money but I'm not sure I want what I call "dependencies" - employees, investors. Probably I can off-load this task to a few closest partners.
As a simple human I can fulfill all my desires and it doesn't cost millions.
Creative journey for me is more important than business race.
For me, problem with old bookmarks manager is that I have to make my own categories to store all items there.
It's much easier to just make bookmark without much thinking, knowing that later I can find it by keywords search. This way I'm not affraid that these bookmarks could grow as hard-to-lookup categories jungle.
Would be cool if they added tags feature, in case I want to group items.
