I did read the article, carefully. Notice the &quot;if you are writing unprivileged code&quot; predicate on that paragraph.<p>First, what do they mean, &quot;if&quot;? It&#x27;s not 1998 anymore, and nobody is writing Java applets.<p>But more importantly, the question doesn&#x27;t even make sense in context, because you can&#x27;t ask it if you&#x27;re comparing C and Java. IF you are considering C for your project, THEN you are writing unprivileged code one way or the other.<p>Java is categorically more secure than C. Notice how the article doesn&#x27;t open with that statement? I did too, and so now I&#x27;m going to rant about how bad the article is.
