If you have a child, for example, and you always throw them in
the pool with maximum amount of safety gear they never really
learn to swim. You are trying to protect them from a
*potential* problem but cause a real problem in stead. It is
impossible to swim correctly with "floaties" because they
change the physics and also offer a false sense of security.
You're confusing two things here. Yes, if we never use void[]
casts, pointers, goto statements ect, or at least study how they
work, we're gonna be helpless. But D does not prevent using them,
just makes you aware when you do.
For sure you won't learn to swim correctly with plastic pillows
only, but that does not mean they have to be made so that they
could break at any moment. It just means you have to take them
off sometimes.
