The garbage I was referring to was in the comments "below". Namely: "Some people may reasonably, with some extreme care and diligence, maybe try to claim they can write safe and UB-free C code. If stars align properly" and "writing C++ code longer than a few lines without UB is humanly impossible", not the article, I quoted the latter shorter one in my original message.

I consider Java browser applets unsafe trash and I'd never run one I don't absolutely trust. This person has similar (or even worse) opinion of C and C++ languages but runs tons of software in them with seemingly no problems since his idiotic comment made it in here and arrived to me intact despite all the C and C++ software on the way from him to HN to me.
