When developing in a higher level language like JavaScript you are less prone to buffer overflow code execution vulnerabilities, witch seems to be the most common security hole.
- woodruffw 11y agoThese days, it seems like XSS/CSRF are just as common.
- wtetzner 11y agoThere are plenty of options beyond C/C++ and JavaScript.
- PeCaN 11y agoThat's a non-point. There's nothing intrinsic about higher level language that prevents security holes. There are plenty of low-level languages that are immune to buffer overflows—Ada, Rust, D† (to an extent), Oberon†, Cyclone.... D and Ada have real and important software written in them, Rust has hype, Oberon is still actively developed, Cyclone influenced new languages (particularly Rust). † Garbage collected by default
