You can write pretty safe code in C these days, without too much
trouble. We have the tooling and the knowledge to make that
happen.. developed over decades - and both keep getting better,
because the language is not subjected to a constant and frequent
release cycle.
Ironically, the demands on programmers to adapt to constant
change, is actually making applications less safe. - and least,
that's my thesis ;-)
The real problem with using C these days (in some areas), is more
to do with its limited abstraction power, not its lack of safety.
And also C is frowned upon (and C++ too for that matter), cause
most programmers are so lazy these days, and don't want to write
code - but prefer to just 'link algorithms' that someone else
wrote.
I include myself in this - hence my interest in D ;-)
Keep those algorithms coming!
