- eru 9y agoC-family languages are cowboy languages. The whole point of eg C (and C++)'s undefined behaviour is to allow the compiler to make cowboy assumptions like "this array access will never be out of bounds" or "this signed int will never overflow" without having to prove or even justify them. All in the name of 'efficiency'.
