I don't understand this passion for turning C into what it's not...

Just don't use C for sending astronauts in space. Simple.

C wasn't designed to be safe, it was designed so you don't have to write in assembly.

Just a quick look through this and it just shows one thing: someone else's walled garden of hell.

I agree, if people just had refrained from building things in c/c++ that operated on data from across a security boundary we wouldn't be in this mess.
