  • I’d say no. Programming safely requires non-trivial transformation in code and a radical change in style, which afaik cannot be easily done automated.

    Do you think that there’s any chance to convert from this to this? It requires understanding of the algorithm and a thorough rewrite. Automated tools can only generate the former one because it must not change C’s crooked semantics.

    When Windows decided to auto update in the middle of an important meeting without any prompt;
    when I download files overnight and the fan takes off at midnight by its telemetry process;
    when it gives me a full screen ad trying to change my system settings and stops me from entering the system on time;
    when the system starts to integrate with ads from the browser to the taskbar.
    It’s not because how good Linux is, it’s because how bad Windows has become.

    So I left after my little checklist of must-to-haves is fulfilled. With no regrets.
