Ah yes, the classic "do it yourself then" comeback argument. Thing is, I am a single developer with rent to pay and a family to feed. In all honesty, I would have little to gain when rewriting sudo / mission critical software in a secure language.

What I was going for is that gigantic companies with tens of thousands of people and manpower use tools like sudo / brew / sqlite / <security dependant tool x> every day. They are the ones who would benefit the most by rewriting critical software in something else than C, and they seem to be getting on that track for internal software.

But for open source stuff, no one cares and that's criminal in my mind.

If you care about it, then you should put in the work; that's kind of how this open source thing works. That how pretty much any volunteer effort works. No one can "force" anyone to do anything, nor should they, and this includes using sudo. If you don't like sudo for whatever reason: then don't use it. If you think there "should" be a replacement: then write it.

Who are you or I to determine where others – including "gigantic companies with tens of thousands of people and manpower" – should spend their time and money?
