You are hitting on different aspects of programming here. For instance, memory management techniques aren't the same as say drawing a line on the screen.
Probably the best comment on the subject thus far. I'm about a 1/4 of the way on your path, but the comparison to real languages had been ringing true for quite some time now. Expressive power of a language is great... if one has something to express to begin with.
Yes, cause that's when you're most capable, right? Healthcare as a business is simply disfunctional. Hence, most of the civilized world does it this way. Welcome to the 21st century, America, we've been expecting you.
Because it costs extra cycles, and you can't make the assumption that it's neglegable every single time? Because of C's promise that you don't pay for what you don't use? Because it's a logic error to begin with and you should fix your logic errors, program your intent, and not rely on the compiler to figure out what you meant? Because you want to control the binary output?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.. I'm gonna go ahead and ... *grabs stapler* take that.
Projecting a little?

Try Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++". I found it absolutely invaluable. Also, the online version is free on his own site.
Probably type safety.
That isn't different for natural languages. The abstractions are simply living outside of the computer for those types.
Never been in management. Ever. I write code.
Then you're a shitty programmer. Any other strawmen?
Everything but the last sentence absolutely disgusts me.

That lives on the server.
So many 'a' s. I think I'll stop now.

The point was that it's not a tax on 'inaction' as you put it. If anything it's a tax on a fact of life. A costly fact of life.
While you can ignore them, they don't really shut up, they are generally produced by the speach centre of the brain, not the auditory censory.
You never get sick?
Ok. So we are free to not give you care? (I'm not part of this particular 'we', but I think the logic stands on its own).
Not really. They just don't work for free.
Interesting if true.
So this is business as usual then?
To be fair... gentoo comes with the construction crew too.
typedef int* intptr; done :).
Learn what you will use.
What does this do?

Take your pick.
