Yeah, for sure. Human error is involved in C and inertia too. New coding practices and libraries aren't used, tests aren't written, code quality sucks (variable names in C are notoriously cryptic), there's little documentation, many things are rewritten (seems like everybody has rewritten memory allocation at least once), one's casual void * is another's absolute nono, and so on.

C just makes it really easy to make mistakes.
