What would the "sky falling" look like to you? If you're expecting dramatic movie scenes like something out of Mr Robot, I'm afraid the reality is more mundane, just a never-ending series of basic programming errors that turn into remote code execution exploits because of language and compiler choices by people who don't pay the costs.

Unfortunely too many folks still pretend C is some kind of magic portable Assembly language that no other language on Earth is able to achieve the same.

Also if I care enough about ultimate performace, like anyone that actually cares about performance, I dust off my Assembly programming skills, alongside algorithms, datastructures and computer organisation.
