Ugh --<p>Older C isn&#x27;t better when it comes to security and avoiding bugs
K&amp;R C is much beloved, but that innocent era is gone
We can&#x27;t afford to fight each other, or C will really die<p>--<p>Older doesn&#x27;t mean there wasn&#x27;t error handling and comprehensive bug checking.  Some of us have been writing defensive code for years.  Age of &quot;style&quot; does not imply approach to security.  OpenBSD has a great deal of C code and is security conscious.<p>Really, articles like these are surpurfulus to the fact that there are shitty coders out there in any language.
