This has nothing to do with C, and everything with its intended problem domain.

You can get into pointer and memory errors in C++, Rust and Ada. All of them low-level system languages. Sure, those errors might be harder to produce, but not impossible, and definitely easy enough to still trip you up.

I programmed in all of those languages, except Rust (just don't like it). At least in C you pretty much now WHY (not necessarily where in the code) things went south, without consulting a thousand page specification or having to remember the myriad of language feature interactions that could have triggered those problems.

Moreover, C being small, it's a good on/off language. Try doing a code review for a C++/Rust/Ada code base which uses features heavily after not having touched the language for a year. I bet it is not as easy as C.

You know, some things in life are just hard. And low-level programming is one of those things. C is only honest about this.
