Because the reason C/C++ codebases are getting hacked is not primarily because they're written in C/C++, its because they were written a LONG time ago when security didn't matter so much, the entire industry was much less mature and it was probably way harder to code, and management at companies would probably never allocate any time to a non-issue like that.

Its just so completely uninformed and noob-ish to equate _tools_ to what people build with them. The language is not nearly as important as the programmer and the context in which the code was written. Its a very typical new-programmer thing to think language is all that matters, but most programmers with a few years experience understand how little it matters compared to everything else. You guys are basically like those old Christian missionaries who show up somewhere in Africa knowing nothing and insist the locals convert. Totally clueless..
