This is complete nonsense. There aren‘t fundamental issues at play. The issue is time and time again memory safety and bounds checking. Avoiding that topic in favor of „fundamental issues“ is disingenuous at best.

Rust / Go / Modern Language X is not a magic bullet for every problem, but it sure seems to be a magic solution for this very problem which occurs incredibly often and is easily fixed by avoiding archaic languages for security critical stuff.

This kind of problem would be a non issue on PL/I, JOVIAL, NEWP, and several others that predate C for systems programming.

YES. I agree entirely.
