I’ve experienced a strange phenomenon: The people who rant most (to zealot levels) about “unsafe C” are the most likely to write horribly insecure code in whatever their “safe” language of choice is. It reminds me of early aviation tech like computers, autopilot, fly-by-wire, etc. In many cases accident rates went up initially because pilots (very wrongly) assumed all of these magical newfangled technologies could just fix and handle everything. I’m not saying C isn’t fundamentally unsafe but your favorite memory safe language isn’t a cure-all and I can’t remotely understand how you could think it is.
