All software handling untrusted input should be sandboxed really. Even if curl was written in a language that prioritises memory safety, there would still be plenty of opportunity for harmful, exploitable bugs to be introduced.

This is correct (assuming the same facetiousness as the gp comment), and even extends to algorithmic oversights and hardware errors. Your threads not stepping on each other's toes and your memory boundaries being automatically checked doesn't make you invulnerable.

Please do explain the negative reception.
