Somehow the vast majority of code is written in broken languages?
- prodigal_erik 12y agoSounds about right, since the vast majority of code is unreliable crap.
- nbevans 12y agoYes. Along with the vast majority of programmers being absolutely terrible at their job, to such an extent that they can't even choose an appropriate tool (language) to do their trade with. Just look at how OpenSSL is written in C++. And look how that turned out. OpenSSL indeed. Wide-fucking-openSSL would be an even better name. Open to OSS contributions it is not; because the codebase is in such a terrible state. What is the point in OSS if nobody can contribute because it would take a year just to understand the ridiculousness of the codebase, right down to trying to understand why they chose such an inappropriate language for creating a supposedly verifiably secure software system.
