That's great and all, but you'd create a host of new bugs unrelated to safety with a pile of new code in a largely unfamiliar language (for the openbsd devs, anyways).

Rewriting the world in some safe language isn't a panacea, this meme is getting very old.

The fact that memory-safe languages don't prevent every bug ever is not an argument against their use, any more than the fact that some people die in car accidents even when wearing a seatbelt is an argument that you shouldn't wear seatbelts.

I'm not arguing against their use.
