Also, I like how this problem had a really simple solution all along

There really isn't anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer doesn't want to write their code in a robust manner.

Yeah, totally, it's all those faulty programmers fault. They should've written good programmes instead of the bad ones, but they just refuse to listen

Right, those devs with 20+ years C experience don't know shit about the language and are just lazy. They don't want to catch up with the times and write safe C. It's me, the dude with 5 years of university experience who will set it straight. Look at my hello world program, not a single line of vulnerable code.

It has nothing to do with knowing the language and everything to do with what's outside of the language. C hasn't resembled CPUs for decades and can't be reasonably retrofitted for safety.
