- c00p3r 16y agoPeople who are really concerned about security starts from a clear design with security in mind. PHP lacks any kind of design, it was just an rapidly evolved toolchan. ^_^

- noodle 16y agoi guess that means that assembly, C, etc are all terrible languages because they don't have a clear design with system security in mind.
- kingkilr 16y agoFrom a security perspective, kind of... it's not like for a decade or so every other security hole was a buffer overrun (or underrun, as the case may be) or others of that ilk. That's not to say they don't serve a purpose, but it's pretty easy to see that higher level languages have eliminated an entire class of security concerns in our code (at obvious costs).
- noodle 16y ago> (at obvious costs) i suppose thats my point. languages are just tools. some languages are hammers, where you can accidentally hit your thumb. some languages are like an automatic electric hammer where its all safe, but its heavy and you have to keep it plugged into the wall.
- c00p3r 16y agoAssembly language and even C definitely aren't scripting languages for creating a home page. ^_^
