All Programs compiled in Delphi are secure


Explain. Do tell.  How does a language manage to be Turing-complete and
at the same time provably secure?  (Hint - Turing-complete includes the
possibility of a program infinite looping, so at the very least, there's
the possibility of a loop causing a DoS attack....)

Or did Delphi use some different definition of "secure"?
