95th··on Time safety is more important than memory safety
Agree. At work, we have a component written in Pro* C (C + Oracle). It's about 20 years old code. All the original developers are now gone and now we're all Java developers. We had a segfault last month in production. No one was confident in the fix we did because even though we all know C (more or less), no one knew the pitfalls of C. Segfault happened in string formatting which is a very trivial thing to a Java developer. It's not yet rewritten in better language yet not because C is such good language but because rewrites are a pain. But because of the last segfault, the business is now more motivated to have it rewritten in Java.
