Just like everything else programming languages have evolved. From Assembly to Fortran to C to Java/C# (just saying, no exact sequence implied). I dont think the languages we have now, far from perfection they may be, would have been possible without the "dark corners" in the older languages. We learnt from them and made better languages. So I say show respect to the old languages, learn from them and keep improving languages/tools... Everybody is happy.

Yup. People have talked about the issues in C for years but few talk about "modern" languages. Ruby anyone?
