- pjmlp 8y agoSure it does, not using C to start with. Or in another form, C should have done the same as other systems languages, do proper bounds checking, arrays and strings without implicit decay into pointers. Second, having a proper UI story like NeXTSTEP or NeWS, and not the X11 Frankenstein.
