My understanding is that there are piles and piles of gotchas you have 
to learn about before you can make reliable programs, even if you stay 
within the definition of the language and don't start doing threads or 
dynamic code loading or things like that.

With C, for example, there are only a handful of gotchas you have to 
learn about. Stuff like "don't run off allocated memory", "don't fail to 
declare types of function arguments and returns", "make sure your 
definitions match your declarations", "put parens around your macros", etc.
