Have you heard about our lord and savior, rust ?
Rust rewrites are probably going to save Windows from AI too. I have no idea about Apple’s plans for MacOS.
Swift rewrites of course.
Maybe, but short term, they (and Google) are working on hardening C and C++, both by improving tooling and the standard library.
See for example
https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3773097
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/BoundsSafety.html
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2024/p34...
I advise you to spend some time watching this,
"Fortify your app: Essential strategies to strengthen security"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZeSyodAszc
Where they explicit state those are bandages for working code, not the way forward.
Note it is a full day event, so will might want to watch it in pieces.
