@matthiasnoback I am curious as to how programmers deal with the footguns in the language. I keep hearing about aliasing between arguments, but that doesn't seem like a loss for a C programmer.
@tetrislife What do you mean by aliasing between arguments?
Hmm, what I've seen is a lot of maintainability issues caused by: lack of modularization and encapsulation, large functions and files... In part typical legacy code issues + premature optimization/thinking for the compiler.
