Distressingly true. I despair that 20 years from now, absent an utterly wrenching change, we will all still be playing whack-a-mole with a seemingly infinite number of security bugs, many of monumental severity, all because we are unable to move away from our memory unsafe foundations.

And the endless supply of ignorant C/C++ programmers (of which I am not suggesting Damien is a member) who profess to management that they can easily write secure code does not help.
