Which language has the brightest future for replacing C: D, Go, Rust?

I still wouldn't blame the language for the errors its users commit. Its like blaming Java and PHP for XSS and SQL Injections. Unskilled developers will always write insecure code, despite what language they are using.

Edit: To clarify my point, "A fool with a tool is still a fool"

They - uhh I mean - we won't if it's impossible.

Then explain me how you would make an Language inherently immune to string injections.

You can make a language inherently resistant to string injections. You only need library authors to cooperate and an extension to your string type like Ruby does, to have your language reject thoughtless injection vulnerabilities.

Its possible, but if these solution make an language that secure, why haven't them caught on yet?

Back to my point: Tools can't replace knowledge. A fool with an tool is still a fool.

Are you claiming that unless we erase all security problems, it was all for nothing?
