The "C is bad trope" is getting way too old. I'm surprised the author didn't plug Rust.

the only programming language in the world where these vulnerabilities regularly happen

Maybe because it's one of the most widely used languages in the world...

Well, one of the most widely used that allows to do low-level stuff. The most widely used one is by far JavaScript but good luck making an OS or a device driver with it

I'm sure there are projects covering those areas written in JavaScript.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should and i hope that is not a thing

Oh gawd. That would be so horrible! Is there a project o compile JavaScript to bytecode? With like LLVM? There must be, but I haven't heard of it. I shouldn't even say anything because I will be better off pretending it doesn't exist.

Just bundle a JavaScript interpreter with the JavaScript code. No need to compile JavaScript.
