- bradknowles 5y agoC is fast? Usually, but slow algorithms are slow in any language. C is safe? IMO, in the same way that fire is safe. Or maybe Napalm. Or nitroglycerin. But then my introduction to C was the original K&R, before the first ANSI C came out. Maybe magic happened afterwards and it suddenly became a safe language after ANSI C came out.
