I wasn't the one who claimed C's worse case was better than Python's best. Perhaps you should reread the thread and see what I was objecting to. You can write bad code in any language, but some don't let you blow your foot off as easily. It's well known and well accepted that higher level languages are more maintainable that C, that's just a fact. If you don't agree, then you're the one making radical claims, not I. Regardless, I'm bored now, this is a dead horse.
