I have heard C described as a language for consening
adults because it assumes that the programmer knows
what he/she is doing and lets them set a structure
equal to a bit or a character or a logical.

PBASIC is similar in this regard in that it does not do
a whole lot of checking to give the user messages along
the lines of "do you really mean that?"

Programmers Beware!
