Y’know someone should write a web server in C. I bet it would be very fast and popular and never have any problems that cause people to look into using other languages after decades of being deployed in production.

Maybe after we do a web server in C, we could do a proxy in C. Or maybe two. Bonus points if it could be configured to be a reverse-proxy.

I bet you could even write a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy in C++.

I assume you're be sarcastic ;) But the ongoing crop of security problems (eg buffer overflows and pointer hassles) are not so much the fault of the C language as they are of the various libraries.
