I've been calling this out for forever now and have been repeatedly told that actually, competent devs with C are fine and the C software we use has been battle tested so it's largely secure.
And now we are seeing that was all untrue.
now it's even more battle tested!
Let's rewrite everything - said every 15 minutes by every new developer with a new toy.
How about being constructive instead - old bug in old code is no surprise, no matter the language/technology.
This was hardly a convincing argument before the current CVE explosion. By now C needs to be dead and buried for network accessible code.
Someone needs to tell DARPA:

How is this constructive when you're offering nothing to construct? Just saying not to be surprised.
You really think it wasn't constructive - is that a you bias or a me bias?
