Linux is a good example a memory-unsafe language doesn't automatically lead to disaster. I think the issues with Microsoft Windows exist because of corporate policies and many bad practices enforced by the management. If you read blogs written by ex Microsoft devs you know what I mean.
I saw many open source projects implemented in C or C++ which sport quite a high quality level.
That said, this article is the single most useful one I ever read on the subject of software development! (I'm in the industry for 20 years now and currently working as an IT-trainer.)
I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
I didn't say memory-unsafe languages automatically lead to disaster. But all things being equal, the exact same system developed in a memory-safe language will likely have fewer bugs than the same system developed in a memory-unsafe language.
Thanks for reading.
