>It is well established that most programmers will produce defects at a relatively high rate when writing C or C++ It's anecdotical, but most of actual C++ programmers I know won't produce more defects than Java programmers for instance. In the last 5 years I have seen buffers overflows just once and was in a legacy code (and C++ has been my main language in that period). Java has its own sets of defects (such as resources leaking). In my opinion are good practices like code reviews the ones that help to produce good code and not the choice of the language.
