I believe that is in fact the exact return type of malloc.
You have to do extra work to type it.
I’m not aware of any other statically typed language that does that.
Hopefully that helps you in your battle.

Nope. Casting the return from `malloc` is a code-smell in C. You have to do extra work if you use `malloc` in C++.

Not sure what you mean by this - weren't you the one who dragged C into a conversation about Python?
