Did we view the same clip? He seemed to argue that reimplementing 
12 million lines of C code into a new language does not solve the 
issues effectively, but gradually transitioning into a language 
with better static checks does solve issues effectively. And that 
is probably true for code that is a natural fit for C.

Of course, these days, most problems are not a natural fit for C 
or C++…
