February's TIOBE index has #Fortran as the 11th most popular language, marking its 12th consecutive month in the top 20, beating languages like #Rust, #R, #MATLAB and #Julia. About time to do away with that "Fortran is ancient/dead/obsolete" myth?
lines of code per known vulnerability in #curl, 1998 - 2023. I purposely leave out the last year simply because it is a little too new code there to be fair - and that makes the graph really spike.
Note also that this treats all vulns equal, no matter which severity
@bagder Does this means that we should ignore the right part of the graph (2015 and newer), and wait to see if the quality did effectively increase so much in recent years?
@fasterthanlime I'm the person who wrote it. Don't worry I don't idolate you! It was more a “It's like if we already shook hands in a conference”, nothing more 😀.
But you are totaly right to remind people that an online figure is an online figure. Fortunately I never had the issue of discovering the hard way that someone online is not the characters he/she pretents to be, but is instead is just a jerk. I heard nasty stories so it's important to keep it in mind.
@fasterthanlime That being said I didn't realise that it was indeed a parasoscial relation, thanks for pointing it out. And I also understand better the tone of your response. Have a great day.
