My post wasn't meant as disagreement on the issue of whether some languages are safer than others. I apologize if this is is how the message was received. I was trying to point out that w.r.t. C strings, using strncpy is almost always the wrong thing to do.
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was snarking at you!
