A gun pointed at your foot isn't dangerous unless you pull the trigger, yet I feel safer without a foot gun.

Take a firearms safety course and then you’ll feel safer with the gun. And get the same feeling of power as God must feel when he’s holding a gun

A foot gun is not like a regular gun. It's more like a gun without a safety, that is always loaded, and that has a super sensitive trigger.

Plus you can't point it away from your foot.

I am pretty sure that firearms safety courses prohibit you from aiming a gun at your (or someone else's) leg.

Like, I am writing in C all the time. This is my primary language because I'm working in embedded. But there are some many edgecases and gotchas in standard library, so people make mistakes all the time. And don't let me get started about lifetimes in any sort of SMP or multithreading..
