    “C was originally developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie”, this all adds up now :)

    Was lack of overflow checks, no buffer bounds checks, weak error handling and null terminated strings a CIA con job? :D

      Bell Labs did a lot of good work, but there will always be people who “aren’t CIA but are friends with people in the CIA” and who are “suspiciously enthusiastic” about adding a feature that makes no sense
