The *responsibility* is clearly the programmer's, but the *language*
tends to encourage or discourage certain kinds of programmer behaviour,
including the writing of secure code.

Surely you wouldn't argue that all languages promote different
kinds of coding equally well, or even that the choice of language
has *no impact whatsoever* on how a programmer will code, or what
kinds of solutions he will attempt to use in his code?
