I use Pascal for all my projects because it has memory safe strings and arrays. Almost all buffer overflows and security bugs could be solved by rewriting all software in Pascal. Everytime a software crashes, you should say, it crashed, bec

That analogy makes me think of meeting people. Let's say there are 10,000,000 people. 1000 have a contagious virus, and of those 1000, 10 give a deadly new coronavirus, 290 give you the common cold for a week, and 700 lead to harmless
