Making simple things simple and safe will produce fewer errors and fewer security issues. I don't see how anyone can try to argue anything else Making things simple and safe is what leads an average careless programmmer to develop insecure websites. It's not simple to write a non trivial website that is safe for sensitive data. And the language is a small part of overall system security. There are lots of alternative "safe" string libraries for C, so string handling is not a good argument against C.
