I&#x27;m not cocksure.  That&#x27;s why I hedged with &quot;seems to me&quot;, i.e. this is my opinion.<p>However, to substantiate my claim, at least for C, I only have to point back to the original article.<p>It&#x27;s possible that things have improved with C++11, I don&#x27;t know.  However, I would think that if C++11 were suitable for writing secure code, that DJB would be aware of this and just say so instead of advocating for a new C compiler.
