The same forces carrying good software to the top, and bad software to the bottom - and with them the tools used to make both the former and the latter - will continue to function. As for whether our lives could be used better, well, let's leave that to each individual.

  For Christ's sake, you already use messed up software. It is literally everywhere. Your kernel, your networking stack, your interpreters, your office suite. Almost everything you use has some roots in C, a memory unsafe language that "messed up" and still became the most widely used language ever. Software will always mess up, regardless of language it's written in.
