MODERATORS
First of all, yes CVE generating languages have been here a while, unfortunately. They are very ingrained and difficult to root out.
But most importantly
Fucking pay them or write them yourselves. Y'all have endless money. You can of course wait and hope the situation resolves itself, or really it along if you rely on it so much.
Anti Commercial-AI license
This. Refactoring the whole code is insanely time intensive, even if developers know multiple languages. All these critical components you rely on, you use without any compensation or support and then dare to complain it's not to your security standards. Fix it, or pay for it to be fixed.
What do you mean? We have our summer intern rewriting the entire Linux kernel in Rust with the help of ChatGPT. They are set to submit the PR by Friday night.
