C is a lot like that saw - it doesn't have a
lot of guards on it, and you
can do stupid things.
The problem is that C doesn't just allow you to do stupid things, it's
actively encouraged. C doesn't just let you aim at your foot, it
defaults to aiming at your foot.
C is not bad as a fairly portable assembly language, but it is NOT a
high-level language.
