Is C/C++ really such a better choice in safety-critical systems? It's notorious for having all sorts of buffer overflows and memory issues on unexpected input.

- my123 5y agoMISRA C or MISRA C++ are used, enforcing much stricter guarantees than what the C or C++ specs provide.

If the compiler itself enforced everything to do with those standards and rejected violations as invalid code, we could have a much improved grounding for that language. There are already languages similar to a safer C, so we know there's a demand.
