1 year agoI have a love hate relationship with C. I love the simplicity of the language. Although it is simpler, it is certainly possible to emulate many features found in other languages like the encapsulation, though rarely perfectly, and not every feature.
I also like C because I am dealing with code at a lower level leads me to having a much better understanding of what is happening under the hood. However, this lower level access allows you to accidentally write bad code that could introduce a vulnerability
Shooting yourself in the foot is a great way to learn discipline. It is how I learned to be careful of what I am writing. However, I think in most cases a memory safe language could be better.
