  No one's saying this will eliminate all problems. Just the vast majority of remote execution bugs in widely-used codebases seem to be related to memory corruption. I examined all of MS's security notices for a couple of years, and the number of critical notices that'd be eliminated with memory safety was well over 90%. Mozilla says the same is true of Firefox.

  Well, yes. I'm not anywhere near as smart as the people writing Java or bash. That is why I want a computer to be smart for me.
