If people would switch to Rust and stop writing C the world would probably be a safer place yes.

Given Rust's spotty platform support[1], I don't see that happening anytime soon.

It's possible to write unsafe code in any language.

Come on... C doesn't initialize memory, doesn't manage memory, doesn't verify bounds for buffers, etc.

It's especially unsafe to write C.

Thats why we have Java / Rust / Python / CSharp.

My point.

[dman]

So we agree that we have different tools with different tradeoffs?

[baby]

Of course, for now. But I still disagree that it is as easy (or hard) to write C without bugs as in any other languages. Most people should not write C.
