gollark: *Did* they? I don't think it's illegal to accidentally introduce bugs.
gollark: Punishing someone after they do a thing doesn't mean that thing didn't happen, just makes other people (probably) want to do it less. People don't *want* exploits in their software, generally. It might make people more cautious, but I don't think it's worth the downsides.
gollark: Anyway, you compare it to the medical field, but that... obviously works very differently, and the licensing thing is a bit problematic there too.
gollark: I mean, *some* of them would be prevented using not-C, obviously some are logic errors of some kind and wouldn't.
gollark: Partly, yes.
