Maybe not C/C++, but then again if you’re chasing pointers in a list maybe squeezing every ounce of performance you can isn’t the #1 priority for the given application. The industry consensus is shifting to the idea that being #1 in security at the expense of being #2 or #3 in performance is a fine trade off.
