FWIW, when I posted my comment about C++, I was mocking the article
writer's notion that it was static typing and compile-time checking
that made Java and C# "safer" for newbies, by presenting an example
that clearly defied that. I was taking it for granted the C++ is
notoriously dangerous and newbie-unfriendly.
Obviously it is not a universal opinion (yet). Too bad.
But all I was really saying is that there are far more more important
things when it comes to "safety" than dynamic typing.
