@dev One of these things is a dangerous tool that makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. The other is a handgun.

@dan dan, have you talked to your cats about memory safety
@dev no but they definitely understand undefined behavior
@dan @dev In his really nice work of C traps and pitfalls, Andrew Koenig summarized it: "The C language is like a carving knife: simple, sharp, and extremely useful in skilled hands. Like any sharp tool, C can injure people who don’t know how to handle it."
@Saleh @dan @dev 50 years of experience shows us that C can also injure people who _do_ (or who should) know how to handle it. But so can a carving knife, I guess.
