I don't find C programs to be very reliable at all. Heavily used ones are as reliable as other heavily used programs, but barely any C programmers even use clang (static analysis) or even the elderly lint and its more modern cousins. This on top of half of people calling themselves C programmers are really C++ programmers (they really are quite different how you use them in the correct manner), I don't really think he's correctly summarizing the field at all. edit: I have been a C programmer for most of my career, including embedded linux, cli linux (including research robotics), and C-Servers to communicate to the above I'm not some guy who just knows python and bitches about "the hard compiled languages" (although I do like python and ruby and objective-C).
