I wonder what the venn overlap between developers screaming C IS DANGEROUS and developers using npm is? Pro-tip: The language details is almost irrelevant, the community culture and ecosystem is what matters to secure code.

Absolutely, C has lots of issues, but at least they are (for the most part) admitted to and acknowledged by projects.. ..or perhaps I have a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome which is entirely possible =)

For the case of PG: I'm not sure using archaic versions of C as the baseline, and not having a way to write non-performance-critical code in a safer language, can really count as admitting. (And yes, we're now using a slightly less archaic version of c as baseline)

Also, you probably write PostgreSQL-C, which makes it less painful...

Yes and no, I also write C-C in libcurl - which is a good way to appreciate just how much work has gone into PostgreSQL-C
