Here's our take.

Unsafe Programming

Nice Pick

Developers should learn unsafe programming when working on performance-critical applications (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: c-language, c-plus-plus

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Safe Programming

Developers should learn and apply safe programming practices when building software that handles sensitive data, operates in high-risk environments, or requires high reliability, such as in healthcare, automotive, aerospace, or financial industries

Pros

• It helps reduce bugs, prevent security breaches like buffer overflows or injection attacks, and ensures compliance with safety standards like ISO 26262 or DO-178C
• Related to: rust, ada

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Unsafe Programming if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Safe Programming if: You prioritize it helps reduce bugs, prevent security breaches like buffer overflows or injection attacks, and ensures compliance with safety standards like iso 26262 or do-178c over what Unsafe Programming offers.

The Bottom Line

Unsafe Programming wins

Developers should learn unsafe programming when working on performance-critical applications (e
