    And I dont deny that. There are a lot of programmers, and not all had eduction on designing secure software. Even with the knowledge and experience, what if the programmer is tired or makes a similar mistake. Only one mess-up away from a potential vulnerability or instability of the app and system as a whole. I need more experience with C to form a better opinion.

      This is why security is usually multi-layered - decrease the chances of a single fuckup compromising everything. And yes using a safer language adds a layer. But typically it won’t be the only layer.
