I have to agree, sort of. These days, C is a tool for either artists, enthusiasts or top-skilled craftsmen. But when you need a tool with which a hundred of average Joes can create a smartphone application (which can later be supported by another hundred of those who replace the first), then something with builtin foolproofing is a much better choice, even if at the expense of losing control of the low-level stuff.

In other words, C itself is not a mistake. But choosing it as a tool can be.
