True. I don't understand why many of us programmers are not interested in tools that eliminate the possibility of errors?

* Why do we use memoy-unsafe languages (except when Rust or GC is unusable)? * Why do we use type-unsafe languages, at all? * Why do we use state-unsafe (mutable) languages, at all?

Of course there are exceptions to these - but they are few.

There aren't so many languages that are a) memory safe, b) type safe, and c) thread safe, that additionally offer d) a large enough pool of developers to recruit from.

  • You don't need (d) but lest anyone realise it. Now get me a Java dev whose been sitting in a chair at a desk for 10k hours.
