Nice, but "C mistakes" IMO must be written as "C programmer mistakes". Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with C just like there is nothing wrong with a plug with live wires and a big warning sign with skulls. Does anyone read signs any more? Does anyone bother to read anything any more? Bonus comment: @Alexander: I suppose that just then means that we’re not as good developers as you are. Java tried to be safe and look where's ended. They went back to the type-cast but with @SuppessWarnings in order to show to your peers you know what you are doing. Ok I will also get a type-cast license from my local Java bureau.</c>.

Rant not against you obviously, I actually quite enjoyed the external modules caveats you posted.
