If anything, C is frustratingly weakly-typed. The integer conversion rules and the signed/unsigned mess are its biggest mistakes.

It also set a bad example. A lot of otherwise good more modern languages make the "char and int are really the same type" mistake.

Yup. People get static and strong typing murder up.

I think you meant mixed up. It certainly does seem, though, that thinking your weak and static type system is strongly typed can lead to errors that could kill a program, and, depending on what the program does, harm people and other systems.

Totally meant mixed up. :-(
