Just out of curiosity (and since F# comes directly from OCaml), with Sum types, do you mean the same concept as what is called "Discriminated unions" in F#? Ref if interested: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233226.aspx

It is very confusing to new programmers though. I'm pretty competent and I still sometimes slip up and try and perform equality with `=`. There's arguments for both, but dismissing an entire language because it uses `:=` for assignment is just silly.

It's not that bad in practice, because you have all extern definitions in a header and the implementation also includes the header, which does result in "redefinition with different type" errors.

The compiler can't check the types' compatibility, as it works on each C file totally separately, compiling them into machine-language object files. The linker can't check the types' compatibility, because all it does is combine object files -- which, since they're written in raw machine language, don't have types.

Not necessarily, no. The original joke is that the newfangled language is ambiguous so it uses rand() in its parser; however, there are many unambiguous languages that still have shift-reduce conflicts in a LALR(1) parser, for example, which need to be resolved either nondeterministically or with other shenanigans like...

Well, the compiler checks it, if you do it the way it's normally done: You do the "extern ..." declaration in an include file and include that to all files that uses it and also the file where the variable is defined. At that point the compiler can see that in the same translation unit the types don't match.
