Evolve into what? Something that works and doesn't have foot guns? Then you might as well just use any other programming languages that exist today. I will not suggest any alternative as that just attract flame wars.
Why hasn't using a rock as a tool evolved? Exactly, because it's god-awful and got superseded, use a real hammer or a cordless screwdriver instead.
Just like the post about improvements to C on the front page today, that list can be made infinite. Language designers have already learned from those mistakes and created zig, rust, go or even c++, that fixes all of them and more. Fixing all the flaws will turn it into a different language anyhow. There is only that much you can polish a turd.
