PHP is memory safe, and yet is a larger source of data breaches and security bugs than C by (rough guess) an order of magnitude.
C is not the bogeyman you're looking for.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoPHP may be memory safe but the shitload of poorly written C extensions enabled by default on all hosts that shipped with the distribution from 1995 to 2010 sure as hell weren't.
- otabdeveloper1 7y agoC extensions wasn't the part of PHP that broke the amateur Internet, SQL injections were.
