While I totally agree this is important to know, CurrentC isn't a startup, it's a new program from an established company. These guys have made themselves a target, and it is very likely that no amount of good security would leave them totally invulnerable. The community's desire to make CurrentC look foolish is very high.


I don't see it as any different than "it's own thing". CurrentC is a new product built from scratch essentially.

Building things from scratch means you end up having to worry about how your code is organized to make good secure programming decisions.

I have no desire to make CurrentC look foolish, only to help people write better software which they currently aren't doing


I suspect the point was that this was this program comes from established companies that have no place making the same mistakes that startups make, or for the same reasons.
