Oh boy, how I wish I could have at least one day without something programmed in C. I'm so sick of all the vulnerabilities...

No social justice vibe was meant. I was trying to say that we're all bad at dealing with the kind of errors which appear in a typical C or (perhaps to a lesser extent) C++ program.

I know that some people are able to do this more successfully than others because of skill, etc, but it's not just about certain individuals. As a whole, the C community has a really poor track record at security and safety and that has a lot to do with the language itself.
