The title should be "Why I use C despite believing in memory safety (but you should use something safer that you prefer)". That better expresses the author's point and avoids the pointless comments about how hard it is to write C safely. Basically, the author says that he feels unproductive in other languages so he's better off doing a good job in C than not finishing in other languages, and he enumerates techniques to reduce memory errors, freely admitting that other languages give that by default.
