Yeah, it was more of a general "old man yells at cloud" comment not aimed at anything in particular. It's just frustrating that we shouldn't have 99% of these vulnerabilities. Don't even have to go all the way with the borrow checking and rust, just basic bounds checks on all containers through templates would be a massive improvement over using C. Yes, the performance will degrade by some single digit %, but nobody cares.

I feel like there are no serious platforms that don't have at least a C++ compiler for it. Or am I wrong there?
