I totally agree. I'm a professional software engineer with 20 years experience. C is such an unforgiving language. It is difficult to read, easy to make simple errors in syntax, and most compilers won't warn you about things like:

 Process_Data_From_Local_IO;

Or, the one that gets me all the time:

  if (myvar=0) 
		   { 
			   dosomething(); 
		   }
