You're making some mistakes here.

If the problem is complacent programmers, switching languages is going to have no effect.

You're also making blanket statements about the attitudes of C programmers which have nothing to do with the C language. That probably means your generalizations are overly broad and not true, not even for a significant fraction of C programmers.

I think you need to use some logic to argue your point, not wild claims.




There is no need for arguments here. C leads to vulnerabilities. That's self-evident. See ISO/IEC TR 24772:2013 for more information.


printf(“hello, world!”);

Please, find the vulnerability in that code, or quit making wild claims


Besides the fact that your code doesn't compile, I would argue that you should deliver real world examples to assess and then comparing it to alternativ solution.

I know, theoretically it's possible to write secure code. Even in C. Experience showed, that 99,999% of people aren't able to do that. And many reasons have its origin in the design of this bad language.
