How many asterisks do you need in order to be technically correct while also missing the point?
The point is simple. Don't make false claims and don't post flame bait.
We need to agree to disagree on this one; the claim that C is fine and does not cause harm due to its multitude of foot-guns, I think, is an egregious and false claim. So don't make false claims and don't post toxic positivity, I guess?
No. We don't need to agree on anything. You. Are. Wrong. And you knew you were wrong when you posted it.

Therac-25 was, as a matter of inarguable and objective historical fact, not programmed in C. Period.

Your continued insistence on this topic even after correction demonstrates clearly that your dishonesty is quite intentional. Shame on you.

You. Missed. The. Point. Shame on you!
