To whoever wrote this: are you ready to share the code of a sufficiently complex program in C (or assembler, why not) you wrote and pay $100 for every "pointer screwup", buffer overflow, memory leak and generally every bug people find, which could have been prevented by a strong type system or borrow checking and other such complicated features?
