On: Hundred Year Mistakes

TFA directly addresses this. The problem you demonstrate is that C does not have a bool type, and the == operator instead returns an int.

Ah, but C99 has a bool type: _Bool. Also available as 'bool' via stdbool.h:

But I otherwise agree with you.

It also has silent type coercion, so it will happily promote your _Bool to an int, neatly voiding any benefits the type might have had to offer.
