You say that as if we even know what kind of human it would take to write safe C code. No specimen has yet been found.

- ddingus 11y agoHelping the humans improve means better tools, education, etc... and this isn't a binary thing, in that compartmentalizing it into the people or the language ignores the cost of rewrites and the use / reuse value of all the code bodies out there right now. Dismissing this simply isn't practical. Augmenting C with things designed to work well with it can cut down on the use cases where C gets used and people aren't well equipped to do it. Great! That's improving the people while not stepping away from a massive investment and it's use value.
