C++ and C are unsafe in the hands of unskilled programmers. Yes people like me and Nestharus will probably produce safe code (I hope) but most people will not. A simple unchecked array size can cause a buffer overflow which is enough for a hacker to take full control over a computer system.
If you are going down the C and C++ route, you are better off supplying GNU modules for any game developer to use. These libraries can be open source and ready to use to fufill the requirements of complex systems that normally take programmers many days to code. An example could be a pathing mesh algorthim for movement pathing which takes a mesh and produces a path.
we'd have the moderating and so on to make sure that the code is safe ; \.
Things may be closed source, but the source still has to be submitted some way for review. We could even do a $$ thing for buying dlls, but we would have to have a price cap so people don't charge absurd things. Everything for that stuff should either be super cheap or free (talking about the most expensive super crazy things being perhaps $5.00, like the MMO Network DLL, which would normally cost $500+).
