I’m replying to your message using software written in C, so do you think that it might be a little bit unfair to call it “broken”?

I suppose I’d agree if you’re making a general argument that most of the software we use is broken to some degree, but it has an entirely different meaning to directly tell someone “Your library is broken”.

Are you? All web browsers I know of are written in C++ and always have been. In modern C++ you don't use char* to mean "pointer to byte array of unknown size", you use std::vector. Moreover Chrome actually uses garbage collected C++ (they call it Oilpan).
