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.
Yeah, for sure. Human error is involved in C and inertia too. New coding practices and libraries aren’t used, tests aren’t written, code quality sucks (variable names in C are notoriously cryptic), there’s little documentation, many things are rewritten (seems like everybody has rewritten memory allocation at least once), one’s casual void * is another’s absolute nono, and so on.

This is not completely wrong, though
