Of course. That's the only reason to invent languages: to take care of stuff people are not good taking care of, and move the work to the computer, allowing us to work on the level that we're good at taking care of.

Else we'd all be using assembly.

There's absolutely no pride or glory in doing things nicely and securely that the computer could have automated in the first place.

Anything the language allows that it could refuse while allowing devs to express the same features, and that results in bugs is a mistake in the language (e.g. the sorry state of strings in C).
