摘要
Memory safety vulnerabilities, like buffer overflows and use after free, are endemic to the C and C++ programming languages. Despite decades of effort to help programmers find and fix these issues, they nonetheless are exploited with distressing regularity. It's time for a new approach. This manifesto argues that we must commit to rewriting the world's software in "safe" languages that eliminate these issues up front. It's going to take a while, but it's time to get started.
