Thanks elianthis, I remember when learning about sparse thinking that they're trying to reinvent Ada!

Apparently C's weak typing is an issue for big projects which is not surprising.. OTOH C++ isn't exactly an elegant language (I do consider C's simplicity elegant for small to middle project but not for large projects) and there is a lack of fashionable replacement language..
