Re: Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI

To me this merely signals how broken C++ development really is. Most if not all of the bugs being uncovered are memory related and therefore intimately tied to the mental memory model of C and C++, namely manual memory management.

It's fine for a C or C++ program encompassing a couple hundred lines but beyond that it's a liability.

C and C++ are simply not fit for purpose when large scale software projects are concerned. All of these need to be ported to Rust or another memory-safe language ASAP to prevent mayhem.

The hundreds if not thousands of developers working on Chrome weren't idiots who didn't know what they're doing. The complexity of programming in C/C++ is simply beyond most intelligent individuals' ability to get perfect all the time.
