    $\begingroup$ I like how you put "How can I email my boss every day asking for a promotion?" as a problem that needs a script to solve. Make sure that in those e-mails you point out the virtues of automation. :-) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @leftaroundabout Yes, C has plenty of room for errors like NaN handling, initialization, and memory structures, but typically code generation for those is set up consistently enough to avoid issues (like avoiding dyanmic allocation and protections against divide by zero). OOP and loose typing, on the other hand, requires lots of complex structural coverage testing because its possible what you think is a Foo is actually an insidious Bar. See CAST-17 for example. $\endgroup$
