I blame C. People that are much smarter than me fail at writing C. I am not even trolling. It is a thought that has been gnawing away at me for some time. I no longer think it's a question of being "good enough" to write good C code.
The only one I know of that has written almost bug-free C code is djb, and that code is a fucking pain to look at regardless of what Aaron Schwartz said. It is good, but it is not how anyone in their right mind writes C. If that is what is required to write safe C then I'm all for using another language.
Edit: I do like how Zed Shaw writes C, but I have no idea if the software he wrote is safe...
