Immunity from buffer overflows has been around for 30 years.  The
fact that some set of developers choose to ignore the languages that
provide it does not make the next environment that provides it an
improvement for the industry.

I'd disagree - if it means a significant increase in people actually
using such environments (languages, whatever), then it's an
improvement for the industry, even if it's no theoretical advance.
