>Not using "restrict" properly can lead to extremely hard-to-diagnose errors
But "restrict" is a low-level micro-optimization, those tend to be tricky. I don't think a sane C programmer would sprinkle that keyword all across the source base, because as you have pointed out it can cause hard-to-diagnose errors.
In contrast, the automatic conversions in JavaScript and PHP are an "always on" feature you cannot avoid.
