Indeed and I think this is the root of all the internet shouting on abstraction-heavy languages vs procedural/"simple" languages. A lot of folks that think in abstraction find it tedious and unsafe to deal with detail-oriented languages, while folks who are more detail-oriented find the abstraction disorienting and unsafe in their own way. Given that one group can't do away with another group, I hope we can all learn to work together.
