Also point out that there is nothing that can be done to fix asbestos. But C can be made safer. The three things that block that are 1 A culture that thinks API's need to always have a gotcha. See the inability to to field a safe string copy. 2 ISO commitee that thinks it's in charge of maintaining a historical artifact. Suggestions to change the language like Brights suggestions about passing arrays fail because the ISO committee thinks that's Heresy. 3 People that think C is hopeless. Usually these are people that had a bad time with it in school. 4 Idiots that think the only reason to use C is speed. Therefor any improved way of doing things that might be 10-20% slower than raw unsafe code is pointless.
