I’ve been a ferocious critic of C, C++, and other memory unsafe languages, and a booster of memory safe languages such as Swift, Go, and particularly Rust. And though I believe there is a more-than-sufficient body of evidence to support the claim that the time to start migrating is now, there are still open questions related to how we migrate systems to memory safe languages more scalably, and how we maximize the safety of code written in these languages.
