C++ needs to die. I get so many people are invested in it and so much code is written in it. I used to be a fan and it's still my main job. But, in 2026 with LLMs able to find all the exploits, and with more and more adversarials, we need a language that is opt-out of safety, not C++ which is opt-in + super vigilance to get safety. It doesn't work and decades of experience proves it.

When LLMs find all the exploits without the source code, they should find them even easier worth the code, no?
