Why don't you use C then? It would let you freely shoot yourself on the foot.

because i prefer the 'meta power' that smalltalk and lisp provide me.

plus, i hate managing memory when i don't have to.

if i still wrote stuff that had to snuggle up to the hardware, i would probably still be using c or c++ but, i'm not writing that type of code anymore so i don't have need to use c or c++.
