Depends very much which programming languages we're talking about.

There are enough managed languages with knobs allowing to do C like coding when required to do so.



Which is about as convenient as opt-in types in python. Nice to have but but a poor substitute and requires much more diligence than if it was designed for it in the first place.

It is perfectly convenient across D, Modula-2+, Modula-3, C#, Nim, Swift, Oberon, C++/CLI, and plenty others.
