The sad thing is that they seem to be replacing one unsafe language with 
another, presumably with enormous effort. 

The only hopeful sign in that thread is the proposal for using Cyclone 
instead, starting here:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-06/msg00502.html

But it is summarily tossed out, without examination:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-06/msg00644.html

If all we can ever use are languages that everyone knows, there will be 
no progress.
