So weird. I also learned C in college, but Python I love and use exclusively from the command line; I'd choose to write GUI code in almost anything else.

But your central argument is right, that UI stuff is ignored in non-web languages at the expense of "core" concepts, and that in turn probably does lead to insecurity.

The reality is, it's historically been hard enough to find decent coders without worrying about myriad security concerns too.
