Don't blame C, blame the incompetent programmers.

I knew someone would come back at me with that.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I don't think there's a single C programmer (competent or incompetent) who hasn't trashed a string pointer or overwritten a string bounds.

Sure, every single programmer who's ever made that mistake smacks themselves in the forehead and blames themselves. But think of all the saved foreheads there'd be if C had a proper string data type.
