Hi author here, I don't understand your comment. Why is it weird? It's the same issue, only difference is in java (pre-5) you'll get a runtime exception somewhere while in C you'll get memory corruption, but it's the same cause, an "any" type. Modern Java has generics so it'll check at compile time that you use the types correctly.

I would think that a runtime exception vs memory corruption is a big difference in relative type safety.... But overall I was just trying to explain to folks in thread how things were parsed....
