I don't want to give the impression of being elitist, nor am I trying to make myself look super skilled, but whenever I hear people criticizing C for being unsafe, or for lacking some library, I can't help but think that's a skill issue, not an actual problem with the language.
i think its more a critism of using C where it shouldnt, or by people who shouldnt use it. certainly a skill issue, but a lot of people simply will make mistakes, and better to be safe. C of course has its uses though
