This makes the most sense and thank you for offering a genuine answer to my question. Which leads to a follow-up question. Has the rise of these memory safe languages caused any shift in the proficiencies of the average developer? I see a lot of younger people gush over python early in their careers but see a lot of Java/.NET in enterprise. I personally grew up learning Delphi, PHP, and HTML. Java and .NET came later, but I rarely had a hand in initiating the projects so my language proficiency typically flowed with the job/project I was working on professionally.

> Has the rise of these memory safe languages caused any shift in the proficiencies of the average developer? That's a good question, but I have no answer for it. AFAIK the data is missing or is inconsistent. But I can link to you the obligatory Ken Thompson's "three weeks away from an OS" https://youtu.be/EY6q5dv_B-o?t=1360&si=Nx6dK4KigZJ3962F https://youtu.be/EY6q5dv_B-o?t=1360&si=Nx6dK4KigZJ3962F
