Given a problem, C may or may not be the correct tool to solve it. Decrying C as so dangerous that it can never be safely used under any circumstances, as you and others on this discussion seem to be doing, is absolutely ridiculous, like trying to ban chefs from ever using sharp knives because they might cut themselves. Much of the software that we all currently rely on is in C, for example all of the common operating systems are in C, and the reliability of these operating systems shows very clearly that C is nowhere near as inherently dangerous as you claim it to be.
