It should be considered a failure of our profession that after all these years the number 1 issue is still out of bounds write, a memory safety issue. In any true engineering profession a failure of this sort would be unacceptable, but in ours it's tolerated and explained away as a necessary byproduct of certain tools. How much personal information has been compromised due to these low standards? How many people put at risk? It's shameful.

In any true engineering profession, we would still be using C, but with big orange safety vests on.
