come on, that is quite harsh. c is easily my favorite programming language and it just works really damn well and produces very small binaries. it's easy to write terrible code in any programming language.
- School-Cotton 4y ago> c is easily my favorite programming language That's not really relevant to the discussion of whether it's the proper language to be used for something like OpenSSL. > it just works really damn well As far as I can tell, all mainstream programming languages "work well", so it's not clear what you mean. > produces very small binaries True but not very important IMO > it's easy to write terrible code in any programming language Sure. But it's not easy to write this particular flavor of terrible code -- buffer overflows -- in any commonly-used language other than C and its derivatives.
- jeffbee 4y agoC++ generally produces smaller and faster programs because the language gives compilers much more to work with.
