Some great quotes, including "C is good for two things: being beautiful and creating catastrophic 0days"

I'm not really sure what the author's call to action is. Seems they have one in mind about demanding better software, but it's too vague to be actionable. Still a good read.


Agreed. Sad to see that it hasn't been upvoted much.

To me the article was a very clear warning on the horrific state of software security and that no one should be under any illusions of how little protection they have. My tangible take away is what you've mentioned: stop using C.
