> it doesn't solve any problem they have

you mean a problem blithely ignored until the software becomes important enough to attack, at which point, it's too late to rewrite the "very old" code? https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2022/01/zooming-in-on...

> errors they do not make.

bullshit. a quick look at oss-fuzz on c++ projects, many of them in modern c++, will show that they are teeming with memory unsafety.

> there is no eliminating bad programmers, but plenty of reasons to avoid their product.

on an unrelated note, what product are you responsible for, so i can avoid it?




There is no possibility you could ever afford it.


the world can't afford new code written in a blatantly memory-unsafe language
