What a lot of programmers forget is that when you program in C you’re actually rooting around in the RAM of the computer. That’s why it’s called a “low-level” language — you have access to the bare metal. With great power comes great responsibility, and it’s more important than ever these days to be very aware of security in all code that runs on the web.

Heh, back when I was taking microprocessor design in college, low-level meant assembly. C was most definitely considered a high level language. Kids these days… ;)
