This does beg another question of should the community be helping the
folks who design languages to build in security-oriented constructs that
we can leverage instead of waiting for after-the-fact find-it utilities?


Language designers do what suits their purpose.  Some language designers
have security as their purpose.  If your goal is to convince the other
language designers they should take a different attitude, the best path
is to patronize those languages that have taken security seriously.

Today, very few language users are willing to do that.
