Interesting. Regarding developers not caring about security, that's why I suggested it should be the default, with an option to turn it off for performance or other reasons, rather than the other way around.
- pjmlp 8y agoAgreed, however that is against the culture of those that decide to stick with C no matter what. Secure by default with option to turn those features off for performance, has been the way other systems programming languages have been designed since 1961. That C culture is now being forced to change, because fixing memory corruption CVEs in devices that are permanently under security exploits attacks does not scale.
- kartickv 8y agoInteresting perspective; thanks for sharing.
