the way to write good solid code is to use more than 2 compiler, and optimisation etc. i mostly write code that runs on at least 3 different os, and 2 different hardware. ... and it just works. no prog-lang can be faulted for bad programming using one. learn the lang, and use it. :-)

gcc still gets the pointer dereference and assignment to what a pointer points to, due to deferring assignments. these edges, idioms of any lang needs to be looked at with academic eyes. :-)
