C is not safe, so Ada shouldn't be either." If you can derive that from what I wrote above (or from anything I've ever written on this forum) then it is clear to me that you are obsessed with jealosy over the popularity of C. I did not even mention C or language safety. You simply pulled that stuff out of your rear end. If you are going to obsess over something, why not make is something "normal" like sex? Obsessing over the popularity of C is just strange.
