White House Warns: Popular Programming Languages May Be Cybersecurity Foes

White House Warns: Ditch C and C++ for security? The ONCD’s latest report is a comedy of errors for devs’ beloved languages, suggesting a swap for ‘memory-safe’ ones. Cue the collective groan!

Hot Take:

Who knew that the programming languages we've been swooning over are the same ones playing fast and loose with our cybersecurity? C and C++, it turns out, are the digital equivalent of that "bad boy" in a leather jacket your mother warned you about. Meanwhile, the White House is playing the role of the concerned parent, pushing the "nice languages" that might not get your code's heart racing but will get it home by curfew without any security mishaps.
