Python cryptography, Rust, and Gentoo

Oh, I certainly agree with that. Maybe I got a bit too quip-y here.

I'll note that I just added clang-tidy checking to one of our code bases (takes almost 2 hours too :( ). Tons of things are ignored because we've been lax for far too long, but getting things like ASan, UBSan, clang-tidy and a whole host of other tools looking at the code is important for C and C++ code bases to keep their sanity in the unfortunately not-always-well-understood corners of the languages that stick out all over the place.

But it's also a mistake to then turn around and blame the compiler for utilizing the freedom the language gives it for the developer's lack of knowledge in that area (and is why, IMO, the burden of proof is on the developer, not the linter, when masking lint detections). You either have to live with the dish C has been serving all of us for the past 40+ years with all the rot and flavor-enhancing spices we now have available or step up, get in the kitchen, and improve things. IMNSHO, Rust developers have been doing that.
