Not true. However as mentioned before, the breath, depth, & maturity of CPAN is unsurpassed by any other language.

likewise after reading days ago that openbsd team got rid of c++ from the base I thought c is better or less problematic or more secure ..
Certainly not true. Many of the project developers prefer C over C++ because:
  • BSD was originally written in C.
  • Debugging C++ code can be more problematic than debugging C although this has gotten better as C++ compilers have matured.

Although we have a number of members who try to outdo each other in spouting anti-Microsoft diatribes, it is not a particularly effective use of time. Windows is Windows for better or worse. Most of the public is familiar with it (or OS X...), & this isn't going to change anytime soon regardless of how much any of us posture. Operating systems targeting the masses have their place. No more, & no less.

But that is my opinion.
