If you haven't watched it yet, Walter's dconf keynote this year 
is a good place to start as are the discussion on dip1000 and the 
dip itself.

But as Rikki said the fact that all arrays carry they length 
means that we have array bounds checking, which rules out one 
class of very common bugs you would get in C.

I'm about to hand in my Honours thesis on Monday after doing it 
for a year, I don't think I could do one in six months, so best 
of luck!
