To be fair, the value of the features you cite are very dependent on the size of the team and the type of work being done. If you're throwing tons of engineers, tests, and money at something--think aircraft or whatever--you're not relying on the language to be smarter than the programmer.

And as for operating systems being written in C and failing, writing a general purpose, hardware agnostic operating system isn't exactly easy. This is not to say that C should be the systems language of choice, or even that C is easier or more stable to write operating systems; just that stuff will be buggy regardless.

And I think your main complaint is stuff like OpenSSL and its vulnerabilities... I don't think I would blame the language there. I would blame age / inherited bugs / lack of testing (amazingly that's the case, but we don't live in a world that's too concerned with the common good).

I agree with you for many, many use cases for a programmer these days... but only if you just contextualize all these assertions.
