Sure, there are other concerns and bash is not an ideal language, but memory safety is responsible for quite a large number of security flaws, since its lack turns bugs into code execution vulnerabilities on a regular basis.
I don't really have an opinion on what language should have been picked instead, though OCaml may be a good candidate.
- dscpls 7y agoTo be fair, erlang would have been the better choice here. Memory safety, concurrency and solid error handling all in one.
- yellowapple 7y agoI think I know what my next Erlang project's gonna be. Erlang-as-PID-1, here we come! EDIT: or maybe as PID 2, per https://github.com/omisego/ewallet/issues/108 https://github.com/omisego/ewallet/issues/108 , though I'd be interested in the idea of writing an OTP application that can reap zombies and forward signals.
