I don't understand this passion for turning C into what it's not...

Just don't use C for sending astronauts in space. Simple.

C wasn't designed to be safe, it was designed so you don't have to write in assembly.

Just a quick look through this and it just shows one thing: someone else's walled garden of hell.

Actually C performs quite good in exactly that area.
