  Interesting paper, thanks. The findings concerning C seem reasonable. I would add the very weak type checker and the silly syntax, of which the majority of people only use a fraction (many C constructs are surprising and not generally known) to the issue of the small Hamming distance from one valid syntax construct to another, not intended one. Though I doubt that (Common) Lisp is a valid alternative for the typical C use cases.
