> C is not an evil language. But because of its flaws it can be used in an evil way - viruses, worms, etc are all possible because of lack of bounds checking. C is just a bad tool.
Absurd. There any _many_ ways a program can be thwarted into running attacked controlled code, improper bounds checking is just one of them.
C is a superb tool, just not for everything. It's a very powerful tool that requires skill and knowledge, but so do most computer languages (even Logo!).
And everything can be used in evil ways. Can you point out any (Turing-complete) language that is not capable of doing bad?
