Part 2/8:
In a discussion about programming languages, the streamer highlights the importance of security in coding. C and languages with similar architectures are responsible for a significant portion of security vulnerabilities, a claim that often provokes defensive responses from purists who attribute security issues to the skill of the programmer rather than the nature of the language itself. The streamer argues that even the best programmers at large corporations like Microsoft and Oracle are not immune to making mistakes. Thus, they advocate for the use of languages such as Rust, which help prevent these potential mistakes inherently.
