It's obviously JavaScript and PHP that are being referred to.

Of the C "dark corners" that are problematic, it'd be extremely rare to run into them in most real-world code. You'd have to intentionally go out of your way to write code that will trigger them, and this code often looks obviously suspicious.

It's very much the opposite with JavaScript and PHP. A world of pain and danger opens up the moment you do something as simple as an equality comparison. The problems that can and will arise are well documented, so I won't repeat them here, but it's a much worse (and unavoidable) situation than when compared to C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Ruby or other mainstream languages.

Agreed. Everytime i get back to C it's like coming back home. But first you must study it hard to make it your home. On the other hand javascript (lang i'm using at current job) is like living 'Groundhog Day' with everyday finishing with suicide. Well, not saying javascript is bad language, there are some really great things about it, but it's designed with a loaded gun put on your head all the time :-) I'd also put C++ on list of dangerous languages, because it is trying to fix C problem while introducing OOP (and in newsest standard lambdas and others), so now you have huge base for new and exciting set of ways to kill yourself. It's not even funny that simple languages like lua are getting more users everyday.
