So where are those mythical "good C++ programmers"? I keep hearing that if only you find them, your C++ will be secure. But so far nobody has found them. Not Google, not Microsoft, not Mozilla.

Rust succeeds, because it does not rely on programmers writing bug-free code. Bad Rust code is not as dangerous as bad C++ code.

BTW: deadlocks are not exploitable for RCE, and are quite easy to debug compared to data races and heap sprays.

There is a very great deal of good C++ online. Google and Microsoft are handicapped by their need to hire in huge numbers, and must take who they can get.
