> Use a language that makes a bunch of security flaws impossible

The implicit assumption here is that the language isn't at the same time introducing a number of other vulnerabilities. Is there a language you would like to suggest?

I'd wager the vast, vast majority of Java, Python and OCaml projects would have significantly less security exploits compared to an equivalent C project. Simply making buffer overflows impossible (as much as they can be) takes a huge burden away from you.

"Actually, more static analysis makes things less secure"

That is a preposterous argument.

I agree. But who are you talking to? I didn't see that argument made.

Come again?
