The problem is that it's virtually impossible to write a "correct" program in Solidity, there are just too many pitfalls that are literally trivial to run into.
It turns out that having a language designed by a 17-year-old who knows some Javascript might not be the best idea in the world, who would have thought?
The language needs to be thrown away and a more proper one implemented, plain and simple. Solidity is unfit for purpose.
