Now do C.


I know right. That's why I'm not doing C anymore, for 10+ years now.


Was Dennis Ritchie egotistical for popularizing C? He would have known all the security flaws in it, right?


Very disagreed with your analogy. By the time those PHP tutorials were written, SQL injection attacks were already known.

So not sure what you're trying to push here but I refuse to participate.


Still to this day you have free-after-use bugs in the Linux kernel, about 20% of all known bugs in the kernel. How is this not comparable?


It is comparable, that's why I'm moving to Rust. Hence I said I don't want to participate simply because I am not defending C either. It played its role and it's time for it to be phased out.


Which MySQL library did Ritchie wrap back in 1972?



My bad, which version of Linux should Ritchie have been auditing in 1972?
