But can != will, I know that exploiting power is hard to resist but I am asking for specific examples as I don't really follow what happens in that area.
I feel like this is some stupid question but aren't exexutables and their libraries loaded to RAM? If yes then why can't it just delete itself (from disk)?
Why aren't people using safe C compilers or libraries and stuff like that? Do they affect performance that much? If yes then what about libraries written in C so that they can be used in other languages (meaning performance is not the number one concern)?
I don't know about other Linux distributions (or operating systems) but a while ago NixOS marked Sublime Text as insecure and wouldn't let me install it without me setting the option to allow insecure packages (since it depends on openssl 1.1.1u), I don't know how dangerous it would be to have software with an out of date TLS library for me, a regular user, but I just switched to emacs, so sad because ST is an excellent editor, a great set of features and plugins while still being extremely fast (which is my problem with VSCode).
