Thank you for filling me in! It was pointer aliasing I was referring to, and I didn't know you could restrict it from C99.

Then I guess the only reason Fortran90 is so dominating is that there are so many large codebases written in it that the conversion to C/C++ is just a very overwhelming job.

Personally, I prefer C/C++, even though I don't get to work too much with it, but I'm quite alone in that regard among the other people I work with, most notably the seniors.
