  memory safety isn’t impossible in C

  In practice it is.

  C is also faster than JavaScript, uses less memory, I wouldn’t consider a scripting language to even be a choice for writing a backend server if I can use a compiled language instead.

  Neat.

  Id just like to point out that there is no such thing as “compiled” languages. The compiler or interpretor is the implementation of the spec. Did you know that there are interpreted versions of c?
