The only two common sources of vulnerabilities in C are off-by-one and memory allocation bugs (former being a subtype of later). By defining a strict API for memory allocation and always double-checking your loops, you can almost eliminate these bugs. I will rather spend time to learn some programming discipline, than learn the monstrosity that is Java.
