I’m simply concerned that one day he will retire. I myself have been
‘medically retired’ for over a decade; stuff happens.

We cannot rely on the programming community to do the right thing. We
are, for instance, sticking canaries on the stack while continuing to
write crucial software like OpenSSL entirely in languages that
_guarantee_ buffer overruns; and the programmer will continue to be
blamed, instead of the practices. (Those who care may want to check
out www.ats-lang.org for a practical alternative to C, suitable even
for writing kernel modules.)
