Isn using a different programming language a better answer than using Bstrlib?
A. The C (and C++) language has been much maligned for its severe lack of safety. And when one takes into account the C standard library as well, one is inevitably lead to the conclusion that this criticism is justified. While basically every other modern high level language in existence is far safer than C in all modes of usage, they also all pretty universally find themselves compromising in one way or another: • Performance Even if some alternative language can theortically perform comparably with C (or if someone rigs a benchmark to make it suggest that the performance of C can be equalled or beaten), there simply is no denying the centuries (if not millienia) of man years of research and effort put into C compiler optimizers coupled with the more natural mapping of the C language to native machine language versus other languages. This explains the rise of C++ over other languages like Eiffel or Ada — C++ is able to leverage all of the results from the C world, while those languag
