Basically, in day-to-day use, the flaws in the language are easily manageable. Resource (memory) management is a skill that should be a given.
Yes, there are well publicised failures in this regard, but consider the number of problems versus the actual number of lines of code written.
- pcwalton 10y ago> Yes, there are well publicised failures in this regard, but consider the number of problems versus the actual number of lines of code written. I think that's a pretty misleading metric when you take into account: (1) widely used codebases constantly increase in size constantly; (2) it only takes one exploitable mistake for an attacker to achieve remote code execution. One exploitable vulnerability per 10,000 lines means 1,200 remote code execution flaws in a codebase the size of Chromium.
