> and don’t think that the programmer more than the languages contribute to those problems

This sounds a lot like how I used to think about unit testing and type checking when I was younger and more naive. It also echoes the sentiments of countless craftspeople talking about safety protocols and features before they lost a body part.

Safety features can’t protect you from a bad programmer. But they can go a long way to protect you from the inevitable fallibility of a good programmer.



I never said anything about unit testing nor type checking, last time I checked C/C++ are strongly typed but I guess I'm just too naïve to understand.
