and that's exactly how this kind of quality-free coffee is written: assuming nothing wrong ever happens. In "memory safe" languages it's the "reliably crash" that would stay in the code because nobody cares to check if it's replaced with actual error handling.

the language has nothing to do. It's a piece of crap code plain and simple.
It would never have passed any cursory code review if it were a bit more open. The only reason it's widely demoted is because it's mandated by committees that don't care how it works
