Umm..a part of that statement is not correct.

Most software (in fact) runs things that are critical to our 
everyday lives (both personally and economically).

A such, the focus really should be on creating safer programming 
languages, and enabling developers to write safer software, that 
is less prone to bugs and attacks.

D's new focus on encouraging even more C into D projects, is not 
something that should be getting underway in the year 2022.

I perfectly understand, that those who want to such a thing, will 
have different opinion ;-)
