In C*, you can do that, indeed. In C*, it is
possible to write code
Is C* like C# ?
without buffer overflows, memory leaks, or
segfaulting bugs of any kind,
if one cares to invest enough effort.
The point is that it's a lot of unnecessary work for no real payoff.
"unnecessary"????????
"no real payoff"???????
HARRUMPH!
I think that having an Operating System, AND having applications, that are
reliable IS a major payoff, and whatever work it takes for THAT is
extremeley NECESSARY.
