"Few decades".

Im thinking more like at least a century.

It will be faster than you think. At some point a big hack is going to occur and governments are going to step in and legislate to ensure it never happens again and we're going to have to rewrite everything written in C/C++ in safer languages. Rust and Ada are safe but I'm hoping something better comes along before the government steps in.

Literally never in the history of computing has a "big hack" ever happened because of out-of-bounds memory use.

It's always a misconfigured default.
