> When you want to use a language that gets compiled and runs at high speed, the best language to use is C. C++ is ok too, but please don’t make heavy use of templates. So is Java, if you compile it.
Back in the early days, this sentence was more like "When you want to use a language that gets compiled and runs at high speed, the best language to use is C.".
So we switched from a path where all major desktop environments (OS/2, Mac, Windows, UNIX) were adopting C++ to a surge in C programming, as FOSS adoption started to gain steam.
So here we are now, about 30 years later, trying to fix the security inconveniences caused by this manifesto.
