Rust rewrites are probably going to save Windows from AI too. I have no idea about Apple’s plans for MacOS.
Swift rewrites of course.
Maybe, but short term, they (and Google) are working on hardening C and C++, both by improving tooling and the standard library.

See for example

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/BoundsSafety.html

I advise you to spend some time watching this,

"Fortify your app: Essential strategies to strengthen security"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZeSyodAszc

Where they explicit state those are bandages for working code, not the way forward.

Note it is a full day event, so will might want to watch it in pieces.

So, they advocate using those tools, and claim they are essential, but not for the long term.

I don’t see how that makes my claim “Maybe, but short term” invalid.

Have you heard about our lord and savior, rust ?
