> Can you explain how owning a car without ABS and not driving it is less safe?

I don't know that it is, I'm speaking based on the implication in this thread that no-enum and no-ABS people are overconfident to a fault.

I do believe that those who claim they don't need enums, static typing, etc are probably overconfident and have a strong desire or need to feel more control.

I'm not sure though, at least for GC'd languages, how enums sacrifice control.
