I bet it'll be the same in 2030 :-)


I hope by 2030 the C-only ones are lower than the top of the list, and trending down instead of up.


I don't know. Microsoft has been pushing for safer languages (most famously C#) as well as static verification where that's not viable (kernel drivers) for well over a decade, along with the prevalence of Java in Enterprise Software, and we still have out-of-bounds read/write and use after free in the top 10.

If you write new software these C-isms seem easy to avoid, especially with Rust as another compelling option. But I doubt that makes a big dent on the statistics in the next decade.


Shh too busy coding to read pitfalls XD


They must be thinking in terms of job security...
