If you can teach people how to write safe C code, you should setup a site and rake it in. Meanwhile, Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, and others have tried to build safe applications and simply fail due to memory safety issues. When such high profile teams cannot deliver, then at some point you gotta say "hmm, maybe the language is at fault".
I understand you like C/C++ and want to point out that if people delivery on a superhuman effort, then we can have nice things. Meanwhile, in reality, so far, this just doesn't happen. Lemme know when we can go a year without a memory safety issue getting tons of systems owned.
