Web development in C: Crazy?
So, people can't hardly write safe web apps in PHP without spraying XSS and auth bypasses and arbitrary shell executions and arbitrary SQL injections everywhere, and you <i>also</i> want to hand the attackers the ability to segfault your server or possibly even straight-up run arbitrary code?<p>Anyone smart enough to truly safely code a website in C is smart enough to learn a language to create that website which doesn't get on all fours and <i>beg</i> to be owned.<p>Yes, I mean that 100% seriously. If you're smart enough to safely write that C code, you won't. If you aren't smart enough to write that C code safely... and the first clue that you aren't is that you think that you are... you don't stand a chance. It's suicidal.
