Earlier in this article, we see the inflammatory statement:
It should be a crime to teach people C/C++.
But later in the very same article:
Whenever possible, use industry standards. For example: POSIX, ANSI C, OpenGL, SQL, etc.
Beg pardon? If we use C or C++ (industry standards, I believe), should we then be imprisoned or lauded?
Or is it just possible that the author is getting a little carried away with himself?
"Programming languages without mandated security don't break systems. Bad code written in programming languages without mandated security breaks systems."
