Someone woke up in the 90's it seems.
Here is a little tip for you, Microsoft has been acknowledging security issues with C and C++ since the XP SP2 days.
Which is why Windows happens to have plenty of mitigations that only recently FOSS UNIX clones are catching up to.
Yet they have come public that hasn't been enough, hence the migration effort away from C, enforcing programming guidelines with C++ and coming up with plans to migrate to safer systems programming languages.
Guess which OS vendor is now having first party support for writing GUIs in Rust?
But I can also rephrase what Oracle, Apple and Google have stated in the same vein regarding OS security.
Or maybe you prefer the statements of an UNIX hero instead?
