There are standard C libraries that handle strings very well. Are you saying other languages don't have security exploits? And in 35 years of writing in C, I have only had a very few segfaults while writing new code but never in production so I don't know why you think it happens so often unless your knowledge is only from reading reddit headlines.

I'm not aware of any. I've never encountered a language that is more frustrating than C to manipulate strings in.

No, I'm saying they have fewer. Far fewer.

Good for you. In 25 years of writing C and working with dozens of other programmers writing C in that time, I've lost count of how many segfaults and memory corruption errors I've had to debug.
I don't miss those days and never want to go back.
