Nobody would let uncle bob and his unhinged fanboys anywhere close to automating nuclear plants or space rockets.

Have a look at, say, MISRA-C, it is very much the opposite of all the crap uncle bob is preaching.

He's nothing but a fraud, preying on gullible untrained minds.

Thanks for making me chuckle, don't know if your statements are true but for sure they're entertaining :-)

Anyway I agree that we shouldn't take "our" Uncle too serious, reading his stuff is a waste of time that's spent better doing more productive things.

Wikipedia anyone?

"Some research results question the effectiveness of MISRA.

In a paper that compares earlier work on MISRA C:1998 with MISRA C:2004, Les Hatton comes to the conclusion that:[24]

In view of the apparent widening influence of the MISRA C standard, this paper attempts to assess whether important deficiencies in the original standard have been addressed satisfactorily. Unfortunately, they have not and the important real to false positive ratio is not much better in MISRA C 2004 than it was in MISRA C 1998 and it is unacceptably low in both."
