My comment seems to have sparked a lot of reaction about safety, but that wasn't the main point. The main point (and the one OP talks about) was about conciseness, and I can't really see how C can be considered a concise language.

Agreed. C is more concise than assembly, but it's highly verbose compared to most modern languages. C++ can sometimes be a good deal more concise.
