Please, reread carefully your initial comment and the one by prodigal_erik (the two comments I&#x27;ve answered to in this thread) and you will see that you&#x27;ve made a gross generalization, while now you&#x27;re narrowing the field you meant to apply your words.<p>Do you believe that security software or browsers are better writen in other languages than C&#x2F;C++? I won&#x27;t dispute that, even if I&#x27;d have some questions about relative merits. Please think of some well known Perl and PHP applications and their security record.<p>Anyway the unqualified:<p><i>That&#x27;s because correct C-style memory management never† scales up to large software projects in a way that doesn&#x27;t result in crashes and, worse, vulnerabilities.</i><p>... and talking about manual memory management in general...<p><i>And pretty much all of them are unreliable garbage that we as an industry should have been too embarrassed to ship.</i><p>... are simply not true. Worse, they&#x27;re insulting for everyone who has worked in this kind of application.
