"What we know is that C code will compile all sorts of bugs, more so than most languages, and C programmers know this and accept this. This is the world that they live in. So it breeds a very unfortunate mindeset which is: 'Let's just get the code to compile so we can get to the real work which is debugging.'" -- Dan Saks
