Interesting. I didn't realize C was so easy to exploit (I am a novice). Very interesting implications for security. Thanks for the cool insight.



It's not necessarily _easy_ to exploit iOS, the problem is that world governments and hacker orgs have budgets in the millions to find these exploits. We have already gone as far as we can by just telling people to be more careful when using C so to solve this problem the only way forward is languages which make it harder or impossible to make the mistake that keep happening in C programs. Apple opting for Swift and Google using Rust in Android.


Ahh gotcha. Thanks for the background context.
