The plain view from Steinberg is alleviating. C - and also C++ - are reliable tools for system and application programming. I think Rust is interesting and I see how C++ develops even further covering a bewildering broad range of low- and high-level programming features. Jumping on the next buzzword language or promising tool? No thanks. Languages like Java, C#, JavaScript or even Go are not itself secure but tools with different features. And another sort of own issues. You will face stack overflows, one-by-offs, missed checks and a lot of bad exception handling and a mad garbage-collector. This doesn't even cover most of our own logic programming mistakes - the most important category. Often people don't know how their tool actually works. What I've learned, good results are only achieved with much and steady work. And well designed APIs prevent problems. Regarding tools, one big improvement is the address-sanitizer in GCC and LLVM. I'm so thankful for this :)
