ROBOTC programs also run inside a virtual machine on the target microcontroller, which makes it basically impossible to accidentally brick the uC, and also gives you an easy real-time debugger and intrinsic multitasking, among other features. Running in a virtual machine also means you can run the same program on a desktop computer with Robot Virtual Worlds.
