Fewer defects, or just different (arguably less severe) defects? It's great that you're sure, but evidence would be even better.
- vardump 8y agoOk, that's a fair point. I don't have the evidence for that. Scripting languages do have their pitfalls. Lua and python can have type mismatches and even typos causing misbehavior, things that usually aren't issues with C. However, you do need significantly less code than in C.
