There are probably lots of people writing bad code in C, I'll grant you that point. But that isn't a property that's built into the C language itself. I think you are attacking a straw man. My original point was just that it's possible to write very fast programs in C.

- mtdewcmu 13y ago>It is, as it makes very easy to blow your leg off. I have never seen a bug-proof programming language. If a language lets you do anything at all, then it will let you write bugs. So I don't see it as a weakness that C allows you to write bugs. If you have easy access to memory, then you can easily corrupt memory.
