macOS Strcpy isn't working -- :(

Or we could just STOP USING C FOR GENERAL APPLICATION PROGRAMMING and save ourselves multiple huge classes of bugs, as well as speeding up development. It's a system programming language, folks. It's not suited for string processing.

What is a system programming language and why does it not need to handle strings??? I always thought C was a general purpose language, and that's the way I've used it.

It means that we've found better ways of developing software, but those other approaches have overhead that one may not want when writing low level software.
