Yes it's somewhat subjective, but other languages for the use case usually contain a lot more abstractions. They're more complex languages but they might enable less complex solutions to the problem at hand.

> IMX, you're more concerned with type safety, and C is not fully type safe like, say, Java is.

I'm concerned with finding errors, preferably at compile time. There have been very few times being fully type safe runtime like the jvm have done much for me compared to the java compiler. If I wanted more down that road then rust or ada would probably be better.
