I acknowledged that in my prior comment. This person is letting perfect be the enemy of good, and I guarantee you that they aren't running their binaries through Valgrind and Ghidra to check the runtime safety after it's built.

Exploits like Heartbleed get shipped because people abdicate their responsibility to write safe software. Shackling developers to dynamic analysis tools is not any better of a solution than using a memory-safe language to start. Rust is shaving a calf to avoid the whole yak.
