Here we agree.  C is what it is, it never claimed to be One Language
To Rule Them All.  But it is a sign of our industry's lack of maturity
that it has been used in so many areas where it is not the most
suitable choice, and was never the most suitable choice.  C (and C++)
are highly unsafe languages.  That is why they require so many tools
and restrictions to be used reliably.  But our industry continues to
pound that square peg into every possible shape of holes.  And so,
inevitably, we end up with e.g. C code certified to DO-178B Level A
that still has 10 times the anomalies of certified Ada code, and 100
times the anomalies of certified SPARK code.  It defies logic.
