The amount of problem denial in the line of "experienced C programmers make no mistakes" or "what? Memory safe languages can avoid only maybe half or so of security bugs, totally not worth it" is astonishing. Granted, it's not easy right now (sometimes close to impossible) for some types of projects to not use C but defending the obvious [1] flaws of the language is mind blowing. [1] Pretty obvious from the beginning. The creators of C made a pragmatic choice and created a language which basically does not guarantee anything. This allowed them to write a compiler fast enough for the limited computing power they had at hand. //edit: Also "C is great because I like programming in C" does not help here. If you like C nobody says you shouldn't ever use it anymore but you should be aware of the problems it drags along and maybe consider sth. else for security critical code.
