I just found myself that C is the worst programming language as many people say, but the security and simplicity is more than any language in security. Thank you so much for this!
How is C more secure than Rust? Doesn’t it lack features such as safe memory handling?

In that talk he called C “the worst language” and said he chose it to troll the industry. How does that support your point?
He also said that you should choose “least privilege” whenever possible. That is precisely the value that Rust brings over C. So how does that talk support the idea that C is more secure than Rust?
Nobody:
C: “Lemme just accept anything the user gives me, write beyond the input buffer, glitch out, and start executing whatever the fuck the user injects in there.”
Still a decent language though, but like an oxy-acetylene torch, it’s powerful tool, but you better know what you’re doing.
