P.S. I am an author of open-source alternative to auth0(used for implementing user authentication in apps)
Will open-source take over all paid software?

Just looked through it, the code seems very unsecure. Leaves lots of room for vulnerabilities the way its set up.

Post hands. If they're brown, then no.

>Java + Docker + authentication
ah personal hell, nice to see you again
Adam Johnson
Clearly it should be written in C, like all secure software

The only way FOSS will fully overtake proprietary software is through the overthrow of capitalism. As long as the profit model exists, there will always be the temptation to close the software.

Insecurity is built into C by design, just like its built into you by your parents.

Short answer is yes, it should.
Longer answer is that there are many important, secure, open source libraries wirten in C. I personally would prefer some language that's not controlled by a predatory corporation. As it is I won't touch supertokens-core with a 10 foot poll.

Best xml parsers, best http libraries, best TLS libraries, best password stores, best envryption algorithms are all written and maintained by C programmers.
V8 Javashit engine is written in C++, so are entire browsers.
And all of these parts have to be secure for your machine to not get randomly hijacked just because you visited a malicious page, I wonder how do they do it?

Yes, open source is a psyop by big tech to devalue tech labor. Otherwise it'd be borderline impossible to fire software devs and we'd be getting paid 2-3x as much as we are now. The corporate beauty of open source libraries is that you're expected to keep up to date with the latest shit on your own time so companies don't have to ever train you on custom tooling, and as a result you're interchangeable with other software developers on the market on top of having less job security. Fortunately, for now the demand is still so crazy labor sort of has the edge over employers

They don't lol

C is what you use when you have no other choice.
All other software should be written in a language that won't compromise your whole system because some dope forgot to check the length of a string before writing it to a buffer.
Nolan Jackson
I have no other choice but to use objectively best programming language
