But then the next generation of languages needs to make sure that you can actually do what you need to do. With C/C++ I am pretty sure that whatever problem I have can be solved. It may be ugly but you can go very deep down to the last bit. So a safe language should allow you to do that if needed.

Would you buy a house which was 20% cheaper, but if a plumber was having a bad day there is a significant chance your house will explode if you turn all the taps on at once?
