The logical conclusion from this is to move to a language with automatic memory management.

We seem to be stuck with C as the lowest common denominator that can be used from any runtime; long-term we _need_ to move away from that, or Linux will gain the reputation of least-secure OS around.
Now, what to move to? I currently don't have see any language/runtime I could recommend, which is in itself rather frightening.
