And I 100% agree. UB is way overused by these standards for how dangerous it is, and as a consequence using C (and C++) for anything nontrivial amounts to navigating a minefield.

I think as compilers got smarter, UB changed somewhat in meaning. Originally the compilers didn't perform such complex analysis, and while invoking UB could break your program, it would still do something reasonable.
