it is possible to write bug free code in many compiled languages
This is just simply not so, or at best, the odds of writing a nontrivial bug free program in any language are negligible. Also, we are talking specifically of C, C++, and Zig here. Three compiled languages among hundreds.
Only if your name is Knuth--put your money where your mouth is.
i enjoyed this laugh, thank you
But nobody does?
It's a job security thing. Otherwise you deliver the perfect program and then there's no need for you anymore.
Nope, we the humans are just not that good at programming.
I was being facetious. It's kind of understandable if we're still bad at programming, we haven't been doing it for very long, just since WWII really.
