Agreed.
I also confess that my anti-C bias got a bit softened with clang.
It does not sort out all C and C++ issues in regard with safety,
but it helps bringing to C a Pascal like safety when integrated
with proper tooling.
Unfortunately when using C and C++, not all compilers are like
clang and it is not always easy to convince people to add extra
tooling (lint and friends).
