On: How can C Programs be so Reliable?

Agree. I'd also say that someone who is not a good programmer will find C quite unreliable. Bugs and issues popping up every now and then.

That is why in the "old days" C was used as a language for advanced courses in CS programs. It teaches you to think straight about your code. Nowadays people think it is easier just to write anything and catch exceptions later.
