DeVault: Announcing the Hare programming language

Which is why languages like Rust, and in earlier times Modula-2, provided ways to step outside the language invariants, with the caveat "here be dragons". Languages which try and force good programming practice are impractical in practice.

And more and more I get the impression that modern C is trying to enforce good programming practice on an ancient code base (and failing miserably ...)
