In 2019, Microsoft security engineers reported that around 70% of security vulnerabilities were caused by memory safety issues. Google reported the same figure in 2020, this time for bugs found in the Chromium browser. The same Chromium browser Google has been forcing on us.

Biden wasted all those coal miners’ time when he told them to “learn to code” without first telling them which languages to code in.

OK ... but can they have Joe Biden hold a press conference with Q&A and explain all this?

LOL As if any of the corrupt morons in the “Biden” junta know anything about software.

“Use C and C++ Got it!”
Must use C or C++ and maybe Linux. I wonder if there is back doors in C#.

Sh!tty programmers, poor coding standards. Code bloat. Poor specifications. Improper memory management. Lack of proper testing. etc, etc, etc.

If Pascal is making a comeback, I’m interested.

Why am I not surprised that Biden is telling developers how to avoid memory leaks? After all, he’s an authority on that.

That’s the ticket!
I’m embarrassed to admit I’m old enough to know Fortran, much less program in it 😂

Java is an interpreted language. That has its own set of problems, including performance.

The same Chromium browser Google has been forcing on us. The Microsoft Edge browser is Chromium with a different wrapper. If you don't want a Chromium browser use something else. There are plenty to choose from.

I don't know if that should embarrass me or send me to the depths of depression for being older than dirt. lol
