TOPIC: programming language security

please I want pogrammers in the house to confirm this for us that:

applications and OSs built with C/C++ are less secure than that built with java and C#

my respect to the house
sose

VBx, Java and C# programs are easily decompiled. On the other hand C/C++ while they are just as easy to use a decompiling/parsing program on them require you to analyze the results for yourself and piece the code together.

To be honest however thats a pretty broad generalization. A Java program can be the same as C# or C/C++ based on the power of the particular decompiler you use. On the other hand security also depends a great deal on the type of code being created. I'm not a program security expert but I do know that the main problem programs have with creating secure code is no matter what the code is being ran on a machine that is not the same as it's being developed on.

Simply put
VBx < or = or > Java < or = or > C# < or = or > C++
(based on the effort the programmer uses to secure the code and the power of the decompiler used)

ok nevins read the statement below may be it will make you say what you have said in a different way.


Java language is written tightly to avoid malicious intent, because when you have a java applet executed in an environment there is going to be what we call a sandbox environment created, that is that applet is going to be restricted to the resources within a certain limitation of that environment, unlike some other programming languages that will allow control over a whole device once it is being executed in a particular environment. C and C++ have out-of-date memory management capability and technically speaking, C and C++ are "unsafe" languages because the seething sea of bits can be referenced, manipulated, cast, and moved around by the programmer with impunity. More advanced languages, including Java and C#, are "type safe" and are for this reason much preferred from a security perspective.
