Language designers do what suits their purpose. Some language designers have security as their purpose. If your goal is to convince the other language designers they should take a different attitude, the best path is to patronize those languages that have taken security seriously. Today, very few language users are willing to do that. -- Larry Kilgallen _______________________________________________ Secure Coding mailing list (SC-L) SC-L@securecoding.org List information, subscriptions, etc - http://krvw.com/mailman/listinfo/sc-l List charter available at - http://www.securecoding.org/list/charter.php SC-L is hosted and moderated by KRvW Associates, LLC (http://www.KRvW.com) as a free, non-commercial service to the software security community. _______________________________________________
