How strongly typed is C? Are non-trivial programs in C a no-go? Would a LISP program more than a couple of pages long be forbidden?

There are toolings that patch C's shortcomings, and there's a reason better typed languages (e.g. Rust) are making strides in C's domain.
TIOBE gives C 14.32% (1) against Rust 0.49% (29), so "strides" might be over-egging the pudding.
Historic vs future trends.
Which tools patch C's shortcomings?
Static analysis tools and subsets like MISRA C.
